Rails - Jan 2007 - `ActionController::Base#render :nothing => true` still whines about "missing template"

In FooController, I put method #bar whose only purpose is to run some
logic in the background and return a status 204 [1].

So in order to return only the 204 status code, I put at the end of
#bar:

`render :nothing => true, :status => 204`

But then when surfing to /foo/bar, I get an error about "missing
template bar.rhtml". Is this a bug?

(The solution eventually was `render :text => ''''`, but it
really seems
like a hack and that `render => :nothing` should have been the valid
solution)
