Hmm, it seem to be working OK with the symbols now. Maybe it was something
related to the config home not being exposed.

I'm talking about rubygems.rb line 514:
if defined?(APPLE_GEM_HOME) and not ENV['GEM_PATH'] then
This will always put the apple system dirs on your paths, even if you've
explicitly excluded them from your paths in .gemrc.
I think it should instead be something like this:
if defined?(APPLE_GEM_HOME) and (not ENV['GEM_PATH'] and not
Gem.configuration.path) then
There are also still issues with source index not respecting this, but I'll
put that in a separate thread.
