Sorry about being so cryptic.

I was able to isolate it. It seems that Reporter#dump is clearing the
mock.

class CustomFormatter < Spec::Runner::Formatter::BaseFormatter
  def initialize(where, m)  # <-  the mock is new from the last example
    super(where)
    @mock = m
  end
  attr_reader :last_method

  def add_behaviour(name)
    @last_method = "add_behaviour"
  end

  def dump_summary(duration, example_count, failure_count, pending_count)
    @last_method = "dump_summary"
    @mock.call_method("hello")
  end
end

describe "Mixed Behaviours" do
  before(:each) do
    @m = mock("mock")
    @m.should_receive(:call_method).with("hello")

    @formatter = CustomFormatter.new(nil, @m)
    @reporter = Spec::Runner::Reporter.new([@formatter], mock("backtrace_tweaker", :null_object => true))
  end

  it "should allow use of Behaviours in examples" do
    behaviour = Spec::DSL::Behaviour.new("My Behaviour") do
      it("should") {true.should == true}
    end

    behaviour.run(@reporter)
    @reporter.dump

    @formatter.last_method.should == "dump_summary"
  end
end
