The contain matcher comes from either webrat or capybara, and is
designed to specify content that is visible in a browser in an HTML
page (i.e. not tags).
I'd go with have_xpath instead, which is supported by both webrat and
capybara, though with slightly different APIs for each (check their
docs).
