This is mentioned in the pickaxe (page 78). (Albeit with a typo, in
the first printing :-) It's not really inconsistent: it's part of the
whole process of Ruby deciding what's a method and what's a variable,
which involves looking for assignments and inferring variableness from
them (so that "thing = 10" means that "thing" is a local variable).
That's not a very full explanation, but tiredness is descending and I
want to say more about Quirk #2 :-)

The thing is, constants aren't supposed to be dynamic -- they're
supposed to be constant :-)
So where you've written:
CONSTANT = "foo"
def Parent.implicit
CONSTANT
end
the effect is as if you'd simply written:
def Parent.implicit
"foo"
end
So when you then call Child.implicit, and Ruby looks for the method
and finds it in Parent, there's nothing to resolve. The method
behaves a certain way, based on its definition.
Here's a further example which might clarify this:
class Parent # as above
CONSTANT = "foo"
def Parent.implicit; CONSTANT; end
def Parent.explicit; self::CONSTANT; end
end
class Child < Parent
CONSTANT = "bar"
puts Parent.implicit
puts self.implicit
def Parent.implicit; CONSTANT; end
puts Parent.implicit
puts self.implicit
end
=>
foo
foo
bar
bar
