adb push Gmail.apk /system/app
adb push GmailProvider.apk /system/app
* mount the system partition read-only
mount -o r,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
* reboot the device
The good news is: I was able to follow these instructions and reinstalled gmail. The bad news is, it still exits to homepage upon refresh.

Also the last instruction (to change back to r/o access) gave me a "mount" is not recognized... error, but I don't think it matters because in Root Explorer the folder is listed as r/o.

Thank you very much for your help.
I may just ignore the problem until the next system update when I'll probably re-root. I also have a Clockword Recovery backup from before this occurred so I may restore from that.
