Have you tried this?  What /should/ happen is that RubyGems detects  
the gem in the gem path and uninstalls it from there.  I don't think  
we should need a the equivalend of the --install-dir flag for uninstall.

If it is not working as described, then please do file a bug report  
as Eric has suggested.

Yep, this one sounds like a real bug (and should be filed).

Thanks for the feedback.
