The solution to the problem with RubyGems turned out to be bypassing
the Debian package manager altogether.

wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/45905/rubygems-1.3.7.tgz
tar xzvf rubygems-1.3.7.tgz
cd rubygems-1.3.7
sudo ruby setup.rb
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gem1.8 /usr/bin/gem
sudo gem update --system

I have no idea why this worked. Maybe mapping usr/bin/gem1.8 to
usr/bin/gem was the secret sauce.
