I'd never done that until this week, but then I am extremely late to the asset pipeline party. I have always written mine with the ../images prefix, because that was what you needed in the public folder. But when I tried doing that, and discovered it didn't work, I just bailed and put the reference in without the prefix and discovered that it worked fine that way, without any need for the asset_path helper and css.erb or anything else.
