1.8.7 backported lot of stuff from 1.9, which broke RubySpec:

At the end something of this was solved, but there are still some
guards around some 1.8.7 specific stuff.

1.8.7 also introduced bugs for some GUI tools, like wxRuby:

http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/wxruby-development/2008-April/001287.html

Regarding the patchelevel stuff, the own tests for ruby don't pass, as
I commented here:

http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/17364

So I cannot provide an updated version of One-Click Installer for
1.8.7 or 1.8.6-p230 if:

1.8.7 break packages that OCI bundles (wxRuby) and p230 cannot
complete it's own tests...
