Can't follow redirects outside current controller - but it's the same controller

Running a functional test on FooController that does 'follow_redirect', I get 'Can't follow redirects outside current controller (from "foo" to "foo"). On further investigation, it turns out that :foo != 'foo' around line 401 of actionpack/lib/ action_controller/test_process.rb. Changing the line:

if redirected_controller && redirected_controller != @controller.controller_name

to

if redirected_controller && redirected_controller.to_s != @controller.controller_name.to_s

fixes the problem. Has anyone else hit this? The method in question is just doing 'redirect_to :action=>:someaction'.

It seems that the proper form of redirect_to is:

redirect_to :controller=>'foo',:action=>'bar',

Not:

redirect_to :controller=>:foo,:action=>:bar

Consistently using strings in both redirect_to and assert_redirected_to fixes this problem.
