Modifying the object you're iterating on is undefined behavior, even in Ruby:
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/188211#821599
It's generally easy to modify your code to either iterate on a copy of
the array or looping with an index (numbers.length.times {...} or i =
0; while i < numbers.length; ..; end depending on what you want to
do).

It should definitively be propagated as a normal Ruby exception. Could
you file a ticket on trac for that?
