Trying to test a controller action which uses the gotoRouteAndExit function of the redirector helper results in the test exiting silently; you are therefore unable to run any assertions after dispatch.
Not sure if this is a bug at all, or if it is whether it's in PHPUnit or ZF.
Further, I'm not sure of the utility of gotoRouteAndExit over gotoRoute - I probably shouldn't have been using it at all, frankly! It would be nice to have this documented.

You can't use that method if you want to test your code.
