Hmm, It seems that there are no front-ends which renders the rubys as
 expected.
Some front-ends can show/hide the rubys, but when they show rubys,
they only shows the contents in parentheesis with smaller fonts --
which is not the expected representations of the rubys.

By the way, if the only difference is the description in the
module.conf , it will be a very easy thing to do.
( I can't understand why it will be a problem. )

Are there no needs to replace '<w gloss="つくり">創造</w>たまへり'
to '<w ruby="つくり">創造</w>たまへり' ?

I think 'ruby' does not mean 'glossary', and the name 'gloss' is
somewhat misleading.

Ruby should increase the readability of the users, but current
implementations of front-ends are not.

FYI:
osis source text for 'kougo-yaku' without ruby

osis source text for 'kougo-yaku' with ruby

osis source text for 'bungo-yaku' without ruby
 http://bible.salterrae.net/sword/bungo-noruby.osis.zip
osis source text for 'bungo-yaku' with ruby
 http://bible.salterrae.net/sword/bungo.osis.zip

bungo-yaku is combination of meiji-yaku(old testament) and
taisho-kaiyaku(new testament).
