Thanks for reporting this...

Unfortuantely, I don't have an install right now that I can debug or test.

A simple workaround would be to put a begin/rescue around the part of code that's blowing up, so that if there's an exception, you can just render the file as plain text.

This also appears to be a bug in Ultraviolet. Perhaps the UV authors would know more about this.
