I'm encountering the exact same issue during build and test of ruby-rugged for Arch Linux.

It's sort of interesting this bug never got fixed.

I'm running into issues when running this as part of a daemon process that does not have access to the HOME directory

It's a bit of an edge condition since most places will just have it. I started trying to isolate the tests yesterday but spent most of the evening just trying to figure out how to get minitest to do what I wanted.

@kbrock if you're running a daemon then it's a different issue and you should specify a different search path for the config levels if you cannot use the defaults.

Fixed via #883
