Session vs. controller.session

What exactly is the difference between using controller.session and
session? I though that session was just a proxy controller.session,
but this irb/debug sessions show that it isn’t:

[37, 46] in ./spec/controllers/session_controller_spec.rb
   37        end
   38  
   39        it "should delete the values from the session" do
   40          session[:foo] = "bar"
   41          require 'rubygems'; require 'ruby-debug'; debugger
=> 42          do_action
   43          session[:foo].should be_nil
   44        end
   45

When I call reset_session in the controller, I’m seeing the
controller’s session reset, but not the session() provided in the
spec. Is this intended behavior?

Nevermind. It was a bug in rails HEAD.
