I had the same problem. I was able to get it to run by building from source as described here:
https://github.com/logstash/logstash
My RaspberryPi is running Debian Wheezy. The jruby version that it installs is 1.6. This error observed above is a result of jruby 1.6 not having full ARM support (I didn't fully understand the particulars). But it popped in a couple places that the issue is fixed in jruby 1.7. I had to go through the exercise of installing rvm on Wheezy (documented in many places if your Google it), then install jruby-1.7.9. I installed ruby-1.9.3 while I was at. Remember to do "rvm use jruby-1.7.9" and "rvm use ruby-1.9.3". There were several other dependencies I had to install. I don't remember them all, but here's a partial list:
libmysqld-dev
openjdk-7-jre
openjdk-7-jdk
I also shotgunned in all the dependencies described here:
http://www.cschramm.net/howtos/installing-ruby-1-9-3-debian-squeeze-rvm/
Beware that this whole process will likely take several hours. The upside is that most of this software gets compiled natively for the RaspberryPi.
After all this effort, I was able to run bin/logstash agent -f /etc/logstash.conf and it started up.
I'm getting this error when I am trying to run logstsh on Raspberry Pi:
