Strange gem install behavior - wrong gems get installed

I'm experiencing some very strange behavior from gem install.

The problem is that running gem install for a particular gem installs the wrong gem.

At least the faraday and addressable gems have this problem:

~/Programming/lehtilompakko_processor[master]% gem install faraday       
Successfully installed fakutori-san-0.1.0
1 gem installed

~/Programming/lehtilompakko_processor[master]% gem install addressable   
Successfully installed adaptation-1.0.1
1 gem installed

See the verbose output here: https://gist.github.com/706413

On the other hand some other gems get installed just fine:

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
Successfully installed curb-0.7.8
1 gem installed

I'm running 1.9.2-p0 via RVM on OS X (rvm info output: https://gist.github.com/4fdfc5eb8fd790e61a4d) and I've tried removing the 1.9.2 installation and reinstalling it, but to no effect.

    Can you attach ~/.gem/specs/rubygems.org%80/latest_specs.4.8 and ~/.gem/specs/rubygems.org%80/specs.4.8 ?

    Any luck with this, Eric? Is this a bug on the Gemcutter indexing side?

    Yay! If you're seeing other strange issues gem sources -c does that too.
