hrm.  I was actually just starting a new app for testing purposes.
Anyway, here are the steps (I'm doing a brand new one now)

rails --database=sqlite3 test_app
svn export http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/trunk/ rails (r7675)
svn export svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/tags/CURRENT/rspec (r2677)
svn export svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/tags/CURRENT/rspec_on_rails (r2677)

I generated rspec and an rspec_model.  Just added two columns, name
and age.  Here's the spec:

describe Person do
  before(:each) do
    @person = Person.new :name => "Pat"
  end

  it "should have a name" do
    @person.name.should == "Pat"
  end
end

Running script/spec spec/model/person_spec.rb gives me

/Users/pergesu/work/test_app/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/../../activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:263:in
`load_missing_constant': uninitialized constant

        from /Users/pergesu/work/test_app/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/../../activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:453:in
`const_missing'
        from /Users/pergesu/work/test_app/vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails/dsl/behaviour/helper.rb:31
        from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`gem_original_require'
        from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require'
        from /Users/pergesu/work/test_app/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/../../activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:496:in
`require'
        from /Users/pergesu/work/test_app/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/../../activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:342:in
`new_constants_in'
        from /Users/pergesu/work/test_app/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/../../activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:496:in
`require'
        from /Users/pergesu/work/test_app/vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails/dsl/behaviour.rb:8

        from /Users/pergesu/work/test_app/vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/runner/behaviour_runner.rb:19:in
`run'

`run'
        from ./script/spec:4


So I took out line 31 of helper.rb, run the spec again and get

/Users/pergesu/work/test_app/vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails.rb:20:
undefined method `run=' for Test::Unit:Module (NoMethodError)

        from /Users/pergesu/work/test_app/vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/runner/behaviour_runner.rb:106:in
`load'
        from /Users/pergesu/work/test_app/vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/runner/behaviour_runner.rb:106:in
`load_specs'
        from /Users/pergesu/work/test_app/vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/runner/behaviour_runner.rb:105:in

`run'
        from ./script/spec:4


So I took out "Test::Unit.run = true" from rails.rb, run again and get

baggio:~/work/test_app pergesu$ ./script/spec spec/models/person_spec.rb
F
