"What negative effect would occur if JRuby always in effect ignored the 
environmental variable GEM_HOME and instead used it's gem directory?"

You'll break tools like bundler, isolate, rvm, and anything else that assumes 
that rubygems behaves normally. I suspect you'll break more than you fix by 
having jruby override and ignore GEM_HOME.
