Thanks, Lee I spent some quality time with asset pipeline only to realize the problem had nothing to do with what I thought, but was simply a bug that appeared when assets were compiled. Grumble :-)
Thanks for the link on overriding rake tasks -- didn't know about this. I'll see if I can find a tiny bit of code needed to support disabling asset pre-compiling per environment and do a PR for the maintainers. Thanks for your help, as always.
