Bizarre. I get this as well, and I experience the same as you with
respect to being able to access the package via alternative tools,
including Archive::Tar::Minitar directly, so this appears to be a bug
with RubyGems, but I don't know exactly what the problem is. I will be
taking it up with the RubyGems developers directly. Alternatively, it
could be something to do with differing versions of Ruby on Windows. I
don't recall which version of the Ruby Windows installer I have on my
main Ruwiki development machine and the machine I just tested on (the
one at work).

Can anyone else verify this?

However, in researching this issue, I discovered an issue that I have
to fix (something in the Google redirect doesn't work as it should),
so I will be releasing 0.9.1 in the next two days (it may not be today
because I have not had nearly enough sleep, and I'm not sure where the
gem problem originates from).

In the meantime, change line 83 of lib/ruwiki/wiki/tokens/00default.rb to read:
    "http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&amp;q=#{CGI.escape(uri)}"

Apparently, Google's redirector doesn't recognise the ; form of CGI
parameter escaping, so you must use the older &amp; form. Mauricio, if
you could update this on the RPA distribution, that would be fine.

I could not reproduce this.

Ruwiki doesn't directly need Archive::Tar::Minitar; it is mostly
needed for support for RubyGem and RPA installations (e.g., the ruwiki
command).
