Even after running `gem uninstall rubygems-update`, this issue still occurs.

Message:
RubyGems no longer attempts to upgrade rubygems itself when a newer
rubygems-update is available. It will still be downloaded and installed (which
will be harmless)

Message:
This _should_ (or at least could) be fixed on trunk. There are exactly zero
tests for update --system but eric has a strategy for that so we'll get it
patched up soon. In the meantime, manual verification would be great.
Just to note: we can't do a damn thing about this bug being released in 1.9...
so... yeah.

Message:
OK. I have a repro, and this is indeed a bug:
% gem uninstall -a rubygems-update
% gem install rubygems-update -v 1.3.7
% gem update -V
Extra notes:
It doesn't actually update your system, as it fails before writing anything.
It shouldn't be doing what it is doing regardless. We need to look into this
asap.

I just updated:
https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/blob/master/UPGRADING.rdoc
with force downgrade instructions appropriate for 1.9.2 & rubygems 1.4.x.
Without a working repro, I can't address this ticket and will prolly have to
reject it.
