This will not work (it always passes):

Then the "Title" field should contain ""

The value is turned into a regular expression, and an empty regular expression matches any string!

Do this instead for Capybara:

Then the "Title" field should contain "^$"

And do this step for Webrat:

Then /^the "([^"]*)" field should( not)? be empty$/ do |field, negate|
  expectation = negate ? :should_not : :should
  field_labeled(field).value.send(expectation, be_blank)
end
