You can stub the view method in the mock and have it yield so that the
block runs:

  specify "should create a video tag" do
     @mock_builder.stub!(:video).and_yield
     @mock_builder.should_receive(:id)
     do_report
  end

Not really the cleanest solution for this spec since you really
shouldn't care that view was called.  That's why I stubbed it, rather
than using should_receive.  Not sure how else you could get around it
though.
