Absolutely not, though I am not having the same experience (blockless
examples are correctly reported as pending).

That's how we used to do it before rspec started treating blockless
examples as pending. It will band-aid your problem so you can
progress. But what you're experiencing is not what is expected, nor am
I able to reproduce it.

Is this a rails app? Are you mixing gems and plugins perchance?
