To reproduce, I just copied the example right from ruby-doc
class String - RDoc Documentation into irb
session.
"foo = %{foo}" % { :foo => 'bar' }
ArgumentError: malformed format string - %{
from (irb):1:in `%'
from (irb):1
I'm using
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-06-23 patchlevel 299) [x86_64-linux]
on Ubuntu amd64
They changed the default Ruby on ruby-doc to 1.9.2, docs for 1.8.7 are at

I altered the RDoc template as well to show the Ruby version.
For example, the String class page, up at the top, should show
Class String
In: string.c
Ruby version: Ruby 1.9.2
for the default docs, and
has
Class String
In: string.c
Ruby version: Ruby 1.8.7

I've been hit by this a few times too. Usually I land in the middle of a
page through Google, and thus I always miss the "head" of the page when
I quickly want to look up things.
Would be nice if, when new features are introduced, they also get
document. In this case, .e.g.
str % arg - since Ruby 1.x.y
Support for hashes - since Ruby 1.9.2

I always go the other way, since Google always found 1.8.6 docs, I only knew
1.8.6 API, and I would see people use useful / cool methods that I didn't
even know about 
I'm happy about this decision
