Nevermind! Indeed, nobody else reported the problem because there is no problem.
Due to weirdnesses of my Gemfile.lock, I was using a really old version of multi_json without realizing it, one that lacked the #lock method. (Had an old version of Capybara in my gemfile.lock, which locked multi_json dependency to an old version of multi_json, which kept multi_json from ever updating, bah).
