Rails Ruby on Rails → 2.x

With a config/routes.rb file like this,

ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
  map.with_options :controller => 'tasks' do |t|
    t.task 'someurl', :action => 'index'
  end
end

% rake --trace routes

(or some other rake tasks like db:migrate) command fails with the following strange error.

** Invoke routes (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
rake aborted!

Same problem occurs with map.namespace like this,

  map.namespace :admin do |admin|
    admin.task 'someurl', :controller => 'tasks', :action => 'index'
  end

and a named route 'desc' also causes

wrong number of arguments (2 for 1) error.

I tried Rails 2.1.1, 2.0.4 and edge, Rake 0.8.1 and Rake 0.8.2, all of which resulted in the same kind of error.
