The spec names say "session" and "controller.session", but
both are
coded to go after "controller.session". Since each spec gets run in a
brand new instance of the context, it makes sense that these would be
two different objects. What doesn''t make sense is that one passes and
one fails.

Would you kindly file a bug?

Thanks,
