Problem discovered, but not solved. It isn't an rspec problem. It's
caused by nifty-authentication's use of Mocha's any_instance.
users_controller_spec.rb's last test calls:
User.any_instance.stubs(:valid?).and_returns(true)
This is fine if the tests are run singly, but with autotest the call
in the controller spec still affects *every* subsequent User instance,
and so it's impossible later in the same autotest batch to test the
validity of later user objects. They just return true.
An aside: It seems that mocha should make it possible to undo the
effect of any_instance.stubs(:sym).
