OTA update failing after rooting phone

I have an unlocked Nexus One that I rooted to remove a system application (Twitter), but now the OTA system update fails with the message

Verifying current system ...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Twitter.apk", "long hex string")
E:Error in /cache/c8847c98b948.signed-passion-FRG83-fromFR91.c8847c98.zip
(status 7)

Un-rooting the device doesn't seem to fix this. Is there more to removing a system app than doing a 'rm' of the .apk? For example, is there some configuration file that also needs patching?

It looks like you need to re-add the Twitter.apk, update, then remove it again. Have you tried that? The patch itself is trying to find that apk for the update (not sure if you can change the patch since it is probably signed?).
