&:self won't work because self isn't an instance method on the object, eg. 
some_object.self won't work either.

If you wan't something cleaner couldn't you use this method in spec_helper.rb ?

def block_yield(object, method)
  object.send(method) { yield if block_given? }
end

Then:

block_yield(thing, :do_stuff).should == "value"
