Rails core - Mar 2013 - Controller test session issue when using render

I''m using Rails 3.2.12, and I have a spec similar to this:

# Spec
before do
  post :create
end

it { session[:order_id].should be_nil }

# Controller
def create
  ...
  
  session[:order_id] = nil
end

Now, that spec passes/fails depending on the controller redirecting or 
rendering:

Passes: redirect_to root_path
Fails: render :create

Is this an expected behavior?
