Looks like a bug.

Try this :

# diff -u rubygems/commands/unpack_command.rb.orig rubygems/commands/unpack_command.rb
--- rubygems/commands/unpack_command.rb.orig    Mon Aug 25 12:53:50 2008

           :version => Gem::Requirement.default,
           :target  => Dir.pwd

-    add_option('--target', 'target directory for unpacking') do |value, options|
+    add_option('--target=DIR', 'target directory for unpacking') do |value, options|
       options[:target] = value
     end

And...

> gem unpack BlueCloth --target=./tmp
Unpacked gem: '/home/fred/tmp/BlueCloth-1.0.0'
