Yes it does seem to say 1.8.7 on the rails site. It was 1.8.3 that was the problem one.
Having a bit of a google around it seems that there are some changes in 1.8.7 that break some rails apps. So technically it seems like it might be a lovd-by-less problem. For lovd-by-less I think you should go with 1.8.6. I think there are some added things in 1.8.7 and as everyone migrates to 1.9 lovd will most likely go with it.
