Ok, I saw it.
Reinitializing buf after the first formatting like this works fine for me:

               # Try to retrieve message *without* expanding the inserts yet

               exe.split(';').each{ |file|
                  hmodule  = LoadLibraryEx(file, 0,
DONT_RESOLVE_DLL_REFERENCES)
                  event_id = rec[20,4].unpack('L')[0]
                  if hmodule != 0
                     FormatMessage(
                        FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_HMODULE |
                        FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS,
                        hmodule,
                        event_id,
                        0,
                        buf,
                        buf.size,
                        nil
                     )

                     FreeLibrary(hmodule)
                     break if buf.nstrip != "" # All messages read
                  end
               }

               buf  = 0.chr * 8192  # Reinitialize buf
