Did you find a solution to this?

For my case, I resolved this problem to add spork configuration into features/support/env.rb.
I don't know why but spork --bootstrap didn't add configuration into env.rb.

Required features/support/env.rb configuration is:

require 'rubygems'
require 'spork'
Spork.prefork do
end
Spork.each_run do
end

So added them by following steps:

1. % mv spec/spec_helper.rb spec/spec_helper.rb.bak
2. % spork --bootstrap
3. % mv spec/spec_helper.rb.bak spec/spec_helper.rb
