> make sure you're setting higher GC limits for the Ruby tests
Could you elaborate on this, or point me in the right direction? I'm learning Rails and curious.

Ruby allocates heaps for its objects, and sets GC thresholds based on those heap sizes. Ruby allows you to change those settings via environment variables, which means that you can end up doing fewer allocations and less aggressive GC, which makes sense when using a full framework like Rails, which is going to allocate a lot of objects.
