So any help would be greatly appreciated.
The expected behaviour is that when you stub or mock a method on a real object (we call this partial stubbing/mocking), the framework takes over that method for the duration of the example. So the expectation that when the wrong args are received the call is delegated to the original object is incorrect, and making this change would introduce potential problems for other users who count on this behaviour. There is a request to add an explicit way to call to the original in rspec-mocks-2's issue tracker: http://github.com/rspec/rspec-mocks/issues#issue/23.
