Why not just stub your callback with something easily detectable and
check that a) that detectable thing hasn't happened before you call
#save and b) that it has happened after you have called #save? That
seems like it's maybe what you'd really care about from a practical
standpoint and it'd save you from mucking about in ActiveRecord.

Then you can test what is is that your callback actually should be
doing in isolation. I could be missing something, though...?
