Summary:
"no superclass method" raised when calling super from an aliased method included from a module (when method was aliased from inside the module)

Detailed description 
class A
  def a
    :a
  end
end

module M
  def a
    super
  end
  alias_method :b, :a
end

class B < A
  include M
end

p B.new.a  => :a
p B.new.b  # in `b': super: no superclass method `a' (NoMethodError)

If you alias a method defined in a module (aliasing the method inside of the module) then calls to super inside that
method will no longer work.

This error only occurs in ruby 1.8, it functions correctly in 1.9.
