I have since (based on off-list advice) retrieved the ruby-mode from
the current development version of the ruby distro, and it has fixed
the above bug.

This is still the case.  The string literal '$' looks to the parser
like the beginning of a literal string followed by the variable $' so
the string never gets closed. I typed a 

   #'

after the offending line to fix it. :)

There are several Perl habits I've picked up from cperl-mode (such as
backwhacking quotes in regexen); I think of it as part of life.
