Pasting from /System/Library/Frameworks/RubyCocoa.framework/Versions/A/ 
Resources/ruby/osx/objc/oc_import.rb

     OCTYPES = {
       :id       => '@',
       :class    => '#',
       :BOOL     => 'c',
       :char     => 'c',
       :uchar    => 'C',
       :short    => 's',
       :ushort   => 'S',
       :int      => 'i',
       :uint     => 'I',
       :long     => 'l',
       :ulong    => 'L',
       :float    => 'f',
       :double   => 'd',
       :bool     => 'B',
       :void     => 'v',
       :selector => ':',
       :sel      => ':',
       :longlong => 'q',
       :ulonglong => 'Q',
       :cstr     => '*',
     }

Note that bool and BOOL have different signatures. You're using bool  
('B') and Cocoa usually uses BOOL ('c'). That may explain your  
inconsistent results.
