OK, solved it. Thanks to Luis's reference to the original rubygems guide, I was able to build a simple gem that worked with my Rails 3.0.7 project. So, I realized there was something wrong with my use of bundler in creating gems.
The problem was that I was not managing the gem's development with git after the initial automatic commit with gem bundler. Thus, when I executed 'git ls-files' at the command line, I saw that new files, like lib/zipcode/config.rb, were not being loaded to the gem specification's file list when gem bundler's 'rake install' was executed. I guess a useful takeaway from this is that Gem::Specification.files is a vital part of the dependency loading for a gem...
