I ran into this problem just today.  Seems noone has answered on this 
list yet, so what I found was that reversing the new testing defaults
for this test works.  In /test/functional/user_controller_test.rb :

class UserControllerTest < Test::Unit::TestCase

  self.use_transactional_fixtures = false
  self.use_instantiated_fixtures  = true

Not sure of the why''s and wherefore''s but obviously the
session info
is getting lost in these tests.  HTH,
Dennis
