The tests still all pass, and they do test this sort of thing.

I can't really make a call about if it's working or not without knowing 
a lot more about your application structure, and your currently logged 
in user / roles etc.

I'd recommend making a TestApp, pulling the relevant bits of controller 
code out (the bodies can be mostly blank, you only care about the 
paths), setting up trivial auth (no DB or anything needed, just use 
Auth::Store::Minimal), and see if you can replicate the issue outside of 
your main application..

Even if you get the same issues, you now have something small and easy 
to understand which you can show to other people, without them having to 
grok your entire app..
