Hmm, actually, responding to my own question as soon as I posted it, 
uninstalling and then reinstalling the latest rake seems to have done 
it:

"sudo gem uninstall rake -v 0.8.3"

"sudo gem update rake".

rake -v runs again, at least.

Still wondering if there's any good way to 'downgrade' the RubyGems 
installation itself, that I accidentally upgraded with "gem update 
--system" before I was really ready to. All the individual gems I can 
uninstall versions I don't want (or use other solutions to have my 
applications using the versions I want), but the RubyGems system itself, 
once I upgraded accidentally with --system, there seems to be no good 
way to go back?
