An exception from rb_path2class differs on strange context.

% ./ruby -r./spec/rubyspec/optional/capi/ext/class_spec.so -e'CApiClassSpecs.new.rb_path2class("CApiClassSpecs::X")'
-e:1:in rb_path2class': undefined class/module CApiClassSpecs::X (ArgumentError) % ./ruby -r./spec/rubyspec/optional/capi/ext/class_spec.so -e'X=1;CApiClassSpecs.new.rb_path2class("CApiClassSpecs::X")' -e:1:in rb_path2class': uninitialized constant CApiClassSpecs::X (NameError)
