Summary: fetch a specific prerelease version

Initial Comment:
I can't fetch a specific prerelease version:
  $ gem fetch dm-core -v '1.0.0.rc2' --pre --debug
   Exception `NameError' at /Users/bozo/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p299/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/command_manager.rb:164 - uninitialized constant Gem::Commands::FetchCommand
   Exception `OptionParser::InvalidOption' at /Users/bozo/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p299/lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:1450 - invalid option: no-ri
   Exception `OptionParser::InvalidOption' at /Users/bozo/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p299/lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:1263 - invalid option: --no-ri
   ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'dm-core' (= 1.0.0.rc2) in any repository
  
I'm aware I can fetch the latest prerelease version: gem fetch dm-core --pre
but I need specific prerelease versions of gems. Is this possible?

FYI, I originally asked about this on help.rubygems.org: http://help.rubygems.org/discussions/questions/38-gem-fetch-a-specific-prerelease-version
