This has absolutely nothing to do with RSpec. Do the same thing in test/unit and you'll find the same result (http://pastie.caboo.se/159803) Continuations ARE time machines. So when you called the continuation again, it does in fact go back to where it exited the loop (from the interrupt). Now I haven't looked to see why the second time "through time" it's not working, but it actually makes perfect sense that it goes back in time.
