AFAIK this has been how RubyGems behave for quite some time, and mimic
the pristine command too, which uses the cached .gem

However, it should be attempting to install it, so I think a bug
report should be addressed in RubyGems and then merged back into Ruby.

Anyhow, the bug report I open up is not about that, the versions been
the same is just a coincidence. I could have pick rdoc as better
example.
