The examples in the book use webrat, which has a has_selector matcher that supports nesting. The capybara have_selector matcher does not support nesting (yet). You don't get any feedback because Ruby lets you pass a block to any method, and leaves it to the method to handle it or ignore it. In this case it's being ignored.
