That didn't work either.  I had to go diving into rails ugliness, per  
usual:

     describe "default layout" do
       before(:each) do
         @layout = controller.class.inheritable_attributes["layout"]
       end

       it "should have a nil layout" do
         @layout.should be_nil
       end
     end
