Everything looks normal there. Have you tried the same with test/unit yet? If 
you haven't, please do create a test case that does exactly the same stuff and 
see if you can debug any differently. If that works, then at least you have a 
way to work through this in the short run, and we know something is up with 
rspec. If it doesn't work, then we know the problem is likely in some other 
part of the equation.
