Using RVM, bundler does not install in proper gemset when gems are installed in a different ruby version

Question

I am having trouble with rvm, bundler and gemsets. I have 3 rubies installed in rvm:

rvm rubies

   macruby-0.7.1 [ x86_64 ]
   ree-1.8.7-2010.02 [ x86_64 ]
=> ruby-1.9.2-p0 [ x86_64 ]

And gemsets like so:

rvm gemsets

   macruby-0.7.1 [ x86_64 ]
   ree-1.8.7-2010.02 [ x86_64 ]
   ree-1.8.7-2010.02@chef [ x86_64 ]
   ree-1.8.7-2010.02@global [ x86_64 ]
   ree-1.8.7-2010.02@mobi [ x86_64 ]
   ree-1.8.7-2010.02@temple_rails [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-1.9.2-p0 [ x86_64 ]
=> ruby-1.9.2-p0@instapaper [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-1.9.2-p0@mobi [ x86_64 ]

I have a .rvmrc that switches to ruby 1.9.2 and the "instapaper" gemset:

rvm use ruby-1.9.2-p0@instapaper

I want to use bundler, so I manually install bundler in this gemset and that works fine.

I build my Gemfile:

source "http://rubygems.org"
gem "mechanize"
gem "highline"
gem "www-delicious"

Then when I run "bundle install" it uses the gems it sees in ree 1.8.7:

Using highline (1.6.1) 
Using nokogiri (1.4.4) 
Using mechanize (1.0.0) 
Using www-delicious (0.4.0) 
Using bundler (1.0.7) 
Your bundle is complete! It was installed into /Users/kold/.rvm/gems/ree-1.8.7-2010.02

If I run "rvm info" it spits out all the right information and I'm even able to install a gem manually without issue:

    RUBYOPT:      ""

I'm just not sure why it's installing these gems outside of the gemset.

Update 1:

$ rvm use ruby-1.9.2-p0@instapaper && which bundle
Using /Users/kold/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0 with gemset instapaper

Your bundle is complete! It was installed into /Users/kold/.rvm/gems/ree-1.8.7-2010.02

Can you post the output you get from the following: rvm use ruby-1.9.2-p0@instapaper && which bundle — bowsersenior

After talking with "indirect" on #bundler on IRC we determined that my BUNDLE_PATH was set to /Users/kold/.rvm/gems/ree-1.8.7-2010.02. Once I did a unset BUNDLE_PATH everything worked as it should!

Using RVM, bundler does not install in proper gemset when gems are installed in a different ruby version
