As far as I can tell, RSpec simply uses inherited TestCase capabilities for
transactions, including use_transactional_fixtures (it's config setting is
simply passed on) and likely uses_transaction.
I'm guessing you can do something like:
uses_transaction :create
it "should save message" do
...
end
At least it gives no exception for me.
The TestCase logic is pretty simple- it skips transactional fixtures if the
method is in it's array, so I imagine it works.
If not, this shoulda ticket talks about the same need, with a patch that
integrates it into shoulda contexts. That might give some clues.

BTW- I happened to be watching your RubyConf2008 Testing Heresies talk
yesterday. Good talk.
