Just run the update again.

There was a bug where it would download the new version, then run the
update_rubygems command for the previously installed version (it didn't
update its cache of installed gems after the download).

When you run the update the second time, it correctly installs the 0.8.10
version.

This has been fixed in 0.8.10 (if you could only get it installed! :)

(Someone suggested running the update_rubygems command directly.  That
might do it too).
