One of my alpha testers is asking about why things like the rake tasks
and specs are being included in the gem.  AFAIK rubygems doesn't
provide an easy way to run them, or does it.  Are they just
unnecessary bloat for deployment?

I strongly recommend including everything in the gem that one would include in a TAR file one might give to a developer to work on. There are people who repackage gems for distribution on Unbutu or Debian and their job is much harder if everything is not included.
