Here's my hunch: capture swaps in a temporary output buffer to capture the 
output. However because you've got your custom builder object, the call to 
capture inside your builder object is fiddling with the builder's output buffer 
attribute, which is neither here nor there because the bits of erb you yield to 
know nothing of this arrangement an d are writing to the template's 
output_buffer

If you look at the source for fields_for/Formbuilder you can see that they 
squirrel away the template object (in your helper method this is just self) for 
later. You should probably do the same
