rspec/rspec-core — Issue #477: 2.7.0: full_description provided to formatters sometimes contains duplications

The full_description in group and example metadata sometimes contains duplicated group information in rspec 2.7.0: [an example][ex].

[ex]: https://gist.github.com/1293001

As shown in the output example in that gist, this is a change from 2.6.4. None of the built-in formatters seem to show this duplication, either in my actual projects or in the simple example in the [gist][ex].

It's a practical problem for me because [ci_reporter][] uses the full description as a filename. In some of my spec suites, the full_descriptions from 2.7.0 result in filenames that are so long that they can't be written (`Errno::ENAMETOOLONG`).
