Bug #12777: NoMethodError: undefined method `garbage_collect' for GC:Module

RDoc says GC.garbage_collect is equal to GC.start. But GC.garbage_collect is a normal method. It is not a singleton method.
So GC.garbage_collect raises NoMethodError: undefined method `garbage_collect' for GC:Module.
Which is expected behavior?
