They definitely shouldn't be using /usr/bin/ruby. It's most likely due  
to my dim memories of PATH not resolving properly at some point  
earlier in TM's life.

(That said, those systems are broken and should be reinstalled. When  
things normally shipped with the system get munged, various other  
parts of the system and/or third-party apps stop working or start  
behaving mysteriously. Modifying Apple-installed binaries is a really  
bad idea. </rant>)
