Maybe a JRuby issue? There is an issue with JRuby and RSpec \>= 1.2.0 that only reveals itself under special circumstances, but reveals itself all the time with 1.2.3/4. Please stick with 1.2.2 for now. There will be a 1.2.5 release some time soon that will fix this issue so you can upgrade then (or you can build now from git). Thanks, David ---

I previously left out an important detail that I am using jruby 1.2.0. This was probably present in 1.2.3 but I had previously been at 1.2.2. No problems with MRI. I tried removing all rspec gems and re-installing only rspec 1.2.4 but that still didn’t work. Anyone else running into this? Maybe a JRuby issue?
