I've decided to move away from rvm to rbenv on my personal machine. Followed the rvm removal instructions, installed rbenv and everything looks peachy. After restarting my shell session:
$ rbenv global
1.9.3-p0
$ ls .rvm
ls: cannot access .rvm: No such file or directory
$ rbenv exec gem list
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
A completely fresh install in a fresh shell--RVM's long gone. Now, when I install bundler
$ rbenv exec gem install bundler
Fetching: bundler-1.0.22.gem (100%)
Successfully installed bundler-1.0.22
1 gem installed
$ rbenv rehash
$ echo $?
0
$ rbenv which bundle
rbenv: bundle: command not found
What? Indeed, look at this nonsense:
$ ls .rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p0/gems/bundler-1.0.22/
bin bundler.gemspec CHANGELOG.md ISSUES.md lib LICENSE man Rakefile README.md spec UPGRADING.md
Somehow, someway, RVM still has its hooks into me. My ~/.bash* files are clean and
$ cat ~/.gemrc
gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc
I have no system ruby, no globally installed RVM (nothing in /etc/profile/, no /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh and nothing in /etc/bash.bashrc) and I'm at a complete loss.
$ gem env

Where else can I look to figure out why gem's configured to install to ~/.rvm?
Something's clearly rotten on my system; no grepping has turned it up, but tacking
unset GEM_HOME
unset GEM_PATH
to the end of my ~/.bashrc made things sane. Horrible hack, though.
