Subject: Can't insert curly brace for string interpolation in ruby-mode

Ruby uses the syntax "... #{expression}..." for string interpolation. But
when I press left curly brace, Emacs says "Symbol's value as variable is
void: last-command-char".
I C-h k {, and saw that { and } are bound to ruby-electric-brace. This
function appears to be malfunctioning.
As a workaround, I M-x fundamental-mode, typed a literal { and }, then M-x
ruby-mode. Doing this repeatedly became a hassle, so I added a temporary
hook to my .emacs:
(add-hook 'ruby-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(define-key ruby-mode-map "{" nil)
(define-key ruby-mode-map "}" nil)))
Could someone take a look at ruby-electric-brace to determine the exact
issue?
