This isn't a bug in Britney; Britney is designed to block on *any*
autopkgtest failures if there aren't any test hints (thus, a documented
reason for it failing). Passing autopkgtests for all packages is a
release goal, and unless the package has a hint (which is an exception
to the rule), any failing autopkgtests shouldn't let a package into the
release pocket. This autopkgtest should be evaluated to see if it's a
real regression in rails or if it's puma autopkgtests not working properly.
