I looked into this a bit more and I think the problem is caused by
running the story when there are no fixtures present. If anyone else
runs into this, adding "self.fixture_table_names = []" to
rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails/story_adapter.rb (after the
"self.use_transactional_fixtures = true" line) seems to fix the
problem.
