Rails 2.1 breaks prototype’s responseJSON

It appears that a render of json:
PLAIN TEXT
RUBY:

render :json => {:blah => "hi"}.to_json

Is responding with a mime type of text/json instead of the previous application/json
The latest version of prototype (and previous versions) specifically looks for application/json in order to fill the responseJSON property of the response object.
