I looked at another of my systems that did not show the problem but had both rake gem and ebuild installed.
I'm wondering if it is something to do with "gem update". I've been running two systems in parallel, one for development, one for production. The development system is running testing (~x86) while production system is running stable (x86). The development system is updated daily, the production about once a month. During my recent rails web app development I've been careful to install the same gems at the same time on both systems. I also did a "gem update" on both system about a day before I noticed the problem on my production system. I verified that gem and portage are playing with the same version rake-0.7.1. Then I re-emerged rake on the production system.

Sorry, I didn't mean to take this thread into what belongs on bugzilla. I was more curious on the philosophy on why duplicate the gems as ebuilds? But I'm thinking now it is probably to allow gems to be dependencies of applications in portage.
