I had been checking through the view path code this past week -- for a different reason: I don't want any checking in the view paths at all.
I am still don't have a clear picture of the entire dispatch stack, but as far as I can tell, the default responder attempts to render something, view_paths gets checked, then it throws ActionView::MissingTemplate ... api_behavior (such as rendering json / xml) gets called as a result of rescuing from that exception. Assuming you are checking for the view within the dispatch and depending on what you want to do, you can handle the exception yourself (if it isn't found) or extend the default responder.
