I am struggling with this as well. What appears to be happening is that the deletes from the join table do not fire the counter_cache update.
>From what I have read, delete's do not fire events and that is the way it is designed in Rails 4. I have tried multiple workarounds from doing an after_save event, putting the join table in it's own model, etc... Nothing I have done seems to decrement the count. Anxious to see if any Ruby experts see this post and let us know the best way to fix this.
