I hate to sound wishy-washy on this, but I've thought about it some more...
So let me try to clearly state my three main points:

1) I don't really like the idea of aliases or a follow-on wrapper of
aliases. My reason is that this throws up a barrier to sharing code. I would
prefer that all wxRuby code look the same.

2) I think a mental transformation from GetPosition to get_position and the
like are acceptable.

3) I don't want the documentation to be a impediment.

Well, that does it for me -- I'm sold: Curt officially flip-flops his vote
back to "ruby naming conventions".
