Rails - Oct 2005 - Behavior change -- bug?

I have a controller that renders text:

render :text => body, :layout => true

It was previously the case that layout would get any instance
variables (in particular I have some before filters at the application
controller level that setup some menus). It is now the case that the
layout is still processed when rendering text; however, the bindings
to the instance variables do not seem to be created. It is easy enough
to change this to:

@body = body
render :action => ''show_body''

and everything works, but is this a bug, or expected behavior?

Patrick, I wouldn''t have expected that to break. Can you please log a  
ticket at dev.rubyonrails.com?

Thanks,
