Going back to my original message, I have the following at the beginning of the
download method:
def download
@orders = Order.find( params[:ids] )
...
The problem is that params[:ids], although built as an Array object by the view
that calls the download method on the controller, is passed as a /-delimited
string of id values. Order.find() will not do the desired thing with that
string, which was intended to be an array by the view, but Rails passed it in a
string representation. So the method really should be
def download
@orders = Order.find( params[:ids].split( '/' ) )
and what I'm trying to spec is the addition of the call to split().

You don't get the same object through the action queue, which is
another reason for not mocking something there. "string 1" is not
necessarily the same object as "string 1" and Rails will do a lot of
processing to the parameters before they end up in the params hash.
Just assume that a similar string will get passed through and spec
that the behaviour is what you expect.
What kind of method calls are you expecting/stubbing for a string?
