Ack, I'm seeing the same thing here (although I think I have some other environmental issues in play as well, unfortunately). I'm running under Ruby 2.1.2. Will see if I can understand what is happening here.

[stevej098]

The method/function "alias_from_options" is defined in rcfile.rb, but not called in that module.

The only other reference is in request_controller.rb, but that looks to be another Class entirely. options.path ||= OAuthClient.rcfile.alias_from_options(options)

I'd look in the github change log to see more, if I knew how. Sorry for stopping there.
