[Ironruby-core] IronRuby 0.9.2 bug - Can't define a singleton method on a COM object instance

[Orion Edwards]

This code used to work under IronRuby 0.9.1 and earlier

load_assembly "microsoft.office.word.interop"
word = Microsoft::Office::Interop::Word::ApplicationClass.new

metaclass = class << word; self; end
metaclass.send :define_method, "fizz" do |*args|
  puts "hello"
end #BANG!

Under 0.9.2, this happens

NoMethodError: private method `singleton_method_added' called for
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass:Microsoft::Office::Interop::Word::ApplicationClass
        from (irb):52
        from :0:in `define_method'
        from :0:in `define_method'
        from :0:in `send'

        from C:/Dev/TEST/ruby/bin/iirb:13
        from :0:in `catch'
        from :0:i

While the previous bug (calling super from method_missing on a COM object)
was easy to work around and isn't that important in the scheme of things,
this one is a real blocker :-( Might have to roll back to 0.9.1 :-(
