Subject: gems 1.3.0 updates itself every time?

On both my Mac (OS X 10.5.5) and my Linux box (Fedora Core 9), gems 1.2 
needed the help of "gem install rubygems-update;update_rubygems" to get 
to 1.3.0.  Now, every time I do a "gem update --system", it reinstalls 
1.3.0, instead of claiming "Nothing to update".

Is this a known problem with the transition to 1.3?  Obviously, the 
solution is "don't do that, Jay"; I just want to make sure it's not a 
symptom of a deeper problem on my systems.
