The matchit.vim script is installed with vim, but it's in the macros
directory, not in the plugin directory. I wrote
runtime macros/matchit.vim
If matchit.vim was in the plugin directory, the runtime command
would not be needed--matchit.vim would be loaded automatically. I
don't know why it's in the macros directory instead of in the plugin
directory.

I suppose the problem could be some other plugin interfering with
these. To make sure it wasn't working for me because of some
peculiarity of my setup, I started vim like this:
vim -N -u NONE
Then within vim, executed these:
:runtime macros/matchit.vim
:filetype detection on
:e foo.rb
where foo.rb contains your example code. The % worked fine. Try
that and see if it works any better for you. That's pretty much
what you already tried with your simple .vimrc except that your
experiment also loaded all your plugins as well, whereas starting
vim with -u NONE also inhibits the loading of plugins.
Alternatively, you could repeat your experiment but start vim as
vim --noplugin
