Two thoughts, one not very helpful, the other hopefully more so. My approach with this area has been to ignore the mechanics of error catching in controllers, to steer clear of rescue_action_in_public in apps - using rescue_from instead - and using a custom matcher to check that particular controllers declare that they rescue particular errors. To ensure that, in practice, the right stuff happens I use Cucumber to check that in a 404 type situation the right stuff happens across the whole stack.
