No this was regular (not j-) ruby, 1.8.7. I think my problem was related to rubygems, at the time I still had 1.3.5.
Later I installed rvm and, again using ruby 1.8.7, I had more luck doing a fresh start by first updating rubygems to 1.3.6 and then running only gem install rails --pre, which automatically grabbed all the gems needed. This way it grabbed memcache_client 1.7.8 (not 1.8.0) and the whole thing worked without a hitch. So I'd replace the advice listed on the guides with: 1) update rubygems to 1.3.6 (gem update --system #or whatever equivalent you need to do so) 2) then do: gem install rails --pre With ruby 1.8.7 on snow leopard, that's all it needs.
