Workaround:
1. backup: tar cjf gems.bak.tar.bz2 `bzcat rubygems.conflicting.files.bz2 | xargs`
2. rm -f `bzcat rubygems.conflicting.files.bz2 | xargs`
3. pacman -Su rubygems

list of conflicting files reported by pacman
   rubygems.conflicting.files.bz2 (4.3 KiB)

P.S. I did gem update --system because I read 'Newsletter for April 3, 2008'

bender02 suggests a better idea in http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=353043 :
pacman -Sf rubygems

I think it's not a bug. It was my fault to manually update rubygems and conflicting files should be expected. Sorry.
