I agree RTB, and I also think it's because of the riddle, and the heritage of Isildur. The fact that Isildur was betrayed by the Ring wasn't really in the library records IIRC. Gandalf read between the lines and did other research, but this wouldn't have been obvious to someone else. Especially someone who didn't fully understand Sauron's true nature and power, and the sort of evil tools he employed (like the Ring).
