Summary: Gem plugins + gem install -i causes activation errors

Initial Comment:
Steps to reproduce:

gem install rubygems-test (has a rake dependency)
gem install rake -v 0.8.7
gem install rake

gem install -i /tmp/gems rake

Expected results:

rake installed in /tmp/gems

Actual results:

./lib/rubygems/dependency.rb:252:in `to_specs': Could not find rake (>= 0.8.7) 
amongst [] (Gem::LoadError)

`gem install -i path` changes the source directory for Gem::Specification so no 
gems are available.

This works with RubyGems 1.7.2 and older, probably due to separate 
Gem::SourceIndexes for installation of gems and for loading gems.

A workaround is to uninstall rubygems-test or uninstall the old version of rake.

A possible fix could be to force-resolve dependencies when changing 
Gem::Specification's source directories

Hi!

Believe it or not, we're moving to github's issue tracker! The 
pressure to move has been loud and clear, but for the longest time 
it didn't support the way we worked. Now that it has freeform 
labels it can support our workflow adequately. There is just one 
problem: Your bug is here and we don't want to lose you!

What we'd like you to do is fairly painless and should only take a 
few minutes:

Please file the _exact_ same ticket on github and provide a link 
back to this crufty old ticket so we can refer to any previous 
discussion that occurred. Once the new ticket is made, put a 
forwarding link to it here and close this ticket out. In a couple 
weeks, we'll track down the old tickets that are still open and 
decide what to do with them.

We could have done this fairly automatically, but we really want 
you to do it so you're attached to the ticket and we can still 
communicate with you and keep a record of it.

Thanks,

The RubyGems Team
