I have attached the log, but, basically, I've been fighting this all day. It succeeds the majority of the time, but then randomly fails with no predictable pattern.
These are very easy capybara tests, too:
t.visit '/signup'
t.fill_in 'user_email', :with => email
t.fill_in 'user_password', :with => password
t.fill_in 'user_password_confirmation', :with => password
t.click_on 'Create Login'
expect(page).to have_content('Welcome!')
I have no idea what could cause this. I'd appreciate any insight.

Sporadic errors like this are typically caused from an a timing problem in your specs. Usually from elements not existing on the page when the page took too long to load.
The easiest way I have found to fix these types of errors is to wrap your expectations in a within block. Your tests then will actually wait to find that selector used for the within block before proceeding to your expectations.
Add a within block like this
t.visit '/signup'
within "form" do
t.fill_in 'user_email', :with => email
t.fill_in 'user_password', :with => password
t.fill_in 'user_password_confirmation', :with => password
t.click_on 'Create Login'
end
expect(page).to have_content('Welcome!')
