Puppet users - Sep 2014 - rspec test for augeas resource that also verifies the resulting content of the file?

I have a simple class that sets the timezone on a Solaris system. I'm 
trying to write tests for it, and failing. It's telling me the file is nil, 
but there should be content as the file does exist. The file is not 
generated via a template or as a static puppet file in the module... the 
module just has an augeas resource to set a shell-style variable inside the 
file:  TZ=<timezone>
 
I have puppetlabs_spec_helper 0.8.1 and rspec-puppet 1.0.1 installed as 
gems into Puppet Enterprise's ruby (PE 3.2.3)
 
Here is the error and the offending rspec code:
 
bsirinek@myhost $ rake spec
/opt/puppet/bin/ruby 
-I/opt/puppet/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rspec-support-3.1.0/lib:/opt/puppet/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rspec-core-3.1.4/lib
/opt/puppet/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rspec-core-3.1.4/exe/rspec --pattern 
spec/\{classes,defines,unit,functions,hosts,integration\}/\*\*/\*_spec.rb 
--color

rspec test:
 
  describe 'when called with parameter on solaris' do
    let(:facts) { { :osfamily => 'Solaris' } }
    let(:params) { { :time_zone => 'US/Eastern' } }
    it {
      should contain_augeas('set_timezone').with({
        :incl    => '/etc/default/init',
        :lens    => 'Shellvars.lns',
        :changes => "set TZ US/Eastern"
      }).with_content(/^TZ=US\/Eastern$/)
    }
  end
 
The test works fine if I leave off the with_content.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks
 
Bill
