Could you post your cargo --version, please?

cargo 0.0.1-pre-nightly (43755c0 2015-02-19) (built 2015-02-21)

Guess this has to do with broken cargo nightly. Just noticed: rust-lang/cargo#1342

@wires it's a bug in cargo nightly. Should be fixed within a couple of days in nightlies. Please see my above comment.
