I chatted with head Gemcutter Nick Quaranto (qrush) on IRC a week or so ago about this and it appears to be a bot or what-have-you that is mirroring all of the Win32 binary gems for FXRuby--even versions that are years old! So no, these stats are not representative of reality.
Assuming gemcutter.org does become the preferred source for all gem downloads, it's safe to assume that downloads of Rails (and other known popular gems) will surpass this in due time. In the meantime I've given Nick my blessing to "filter" those download statistics as he sees fit to make them more realistic.
