I have embedded Ruby in a D application. Called methods in both 
directions. I had no problem. Have a look at this mostly abandoned 
project [1]. The bindings where created from 1.9.1 (ABI version). Here 
[2] are the C bindings and here [3] are some wrappers.

Please report an issue. It shouldn't be throwing an exception.
