I have the same problem (Unhandled special: Special:) for a lot of gem-packages, not only for rails. Also on 1.8.2 and 1.8.4 on Windows platform.
Very annoying error.

This happened on both windows and linux. The windows box is running
version ruby 1.8.2, the linux box is 1.8.4. Both boxes are running the
CVS head for gems, which runs the RI documentation generator. Since I'm
not hearing complaints from other users, I suspect that it is an RI doc
issue.
I ran "gem rdoc" on each of the packages individually and had no problem
(on the windows box ... haven't tried it on linux yet).
Anyone who know the RI doc process better than I do wish to comment?
