Many questions!

NotCompileableException is caught by the JIT and used to leave a given
method in the interpreter. They can be logged with
-Xjit.logging.verbose=true (and -Xjit.logging=true will log
successes).
If you do not see the method fail to JIT, then the code path in
question was probably not taken.
I will say that the compiler size of keyword args is a little hacky
right now and probably well behind the interpreter. 2.0 has not been a
priority for us during the 1.7.x cycle.

AOT compilation should follow the same paths as JIT but fail hard when
NotCompilableException is thrown.

The IR is produced by a compiler from the current AST. We have a fully
functional interpreter (unsure about 2.0 features) and a very partial
JIT from IR to JVM bytecode.
The current plan is that the IR will form the basis of JRuby 9000's runtime.
