Yes. Note that the plain digest is different:

It's only the following two which are the same. The reason is most possibly
this bit (from the Digest::MD5 docs):
Note that the `digest' operation is effectively a destructive,
read-once operation. Once it has been performed, the `Digest::MD5'
object is automatically `reset' and can be used to calculate another
digest value.
So only ->digest gave you the digest of your data; the following ->hexdigest
and ->b64digest gave you the digest of (I presume) the empty string -- which
is, of course, always the same.
Cheers,
