Depreciation warnings

I'm working with Rails 3.0.0.beta4 and found a spot where the input controls in the form disappeared. The code was using the old-style block notation (<% rather than <%=) with fields_for in a deeply nested form. So, a fields_for was nested within another fields_for. There was no depreciation warning in the server output.

I suspect this might be a "won't fix" but I could log it in Lighthouse anyway. Recommendations?

Also, what's the official policy (if there is one) on what deprecated means? In my experience, sometimes depreciated rails code still works but you get a warning. Other times, I've seen it where the code doesn't work anymore and still you get a warning, which seems more like "unsupported" at that point.
