Thanks Matt. It was actually a Cucumber feature that found the bug (this is a new project that I've yet to actually open a browser on, I think), so in that sense it's already covered. But I wanted to somehow specify this very particular piece of behavior so that in the future if someone breaks it, there's a spec that points right to the problem. I think that if someone breaks my layout this way (e.g. accidentally removing the yield in a future edit), most (all?) of my acceptance tests will fail but it won't be immediately obvious why.
