They can be different, yes.

I would note that I would prefer patching the upstream. In this case 
asking rubygem author to release 3.0.5.1 patched gem (not sure if 
rubygems support such a convention). And then to use it.

Is it necessary to put that effort in maintaining our own rubygems just 
because few developers (incl. me) do use RVM instead recommended RPM 
gems? I would go for patching upstream if it blocks us (e.g. maybe this 
case - the gettext issue), but for other cases I would recommend to live 
with it.
