Install Fails on Vagrant 1.3.5 (ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError))

I was getting a similar error trying to install vagrant-chef-zero as a Vagrant plugin using Vagrant 1.3.5 on OSX 10.8.5 and XCode 5.01.

/Applications/Vagrant/embedded/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/installer.rb:562:in rescue in block in build_extensions':
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)

make: *** No rule to make target/Applications/Vagrant/embedded/include/ruby-1.9.1/x86_64-darwin12.3.0/ruby/config.h', needed by `yajl.o'. Stop.

I found a workaround solve on the Vagrant Issue #2402 that allows the install to work.
See the Vagrant issue here: hashicorp/vagrant#2402

sudo vagrant plugin install vagrant-chef-zero && sudo chown -R "$USER":staff ~/.vagrant.d/*

I am using OSX 10.8.5
XCode 5.01
Vagrant 1.3.5
VirtualBox 4.2.18
