This has annoyed me too.  So, I've hacked up a version of ruby-mode.el
that addresses this problem.  You can find it at ...

    ftp://ftp.one.net/pub/users/jweirich/ruby/ruby-mode.el

Set the variable 'ruby-deep-arglist' to non-nil if you want the
traditional indentation.  Set it to nil if you want the new "shallow"
indentation.

There seems to be a number of different versions of ruby-mode.el
laying around.  I put the changes in the latest version I had locally.
Who is currently maintaining this file?

Have fun.
