Rails - Jan 2006 - problem with cookies in tests (TDD)

The problem I''m having is that I can''t seem to destroy the
cookies and
assert that they were indeed destroyed inside the test.
The code to do this does work - the cookies are created, and are 
destroyed when this is done in a browser, but I can''t seem to make the 
test pass.

account_signup_test.rb

  def test_should_pass_if_logout_destroys_cookie_data
    post :login, { :user => { :login => ''ben'', :password
=> ''password''
}, :remember => 1 }
    assert_equal(User.hash_password(''password''),
cookies["password"][0])
    assert_equal(''ben'', cookies["login"][0])
    get :logout
    assert_nil cookies["password"][0]
    assert_nil cookies["login"][0]
  end

account_controller.rb

  def logout
    session[''user''] = nil
    cookies.delete :login if cookies[:login]
    cookies.delete :password if cookies[:password]
  end

rake test failure (assert_nil cookies["password"][0] is what fails):

  1) Failure:
test_should_pass_if_logout_destroys_cookie_data(AccountSignupTest) 
[./test/functional/account/account_signup_test.rb:169]:
<nil> expected but was
<"5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99">.
