The biggest problem I think, and I speak from experience, is that some of the best rails tutorials leave out a lot of important security issues entirely. Some of them might do a trivial paragraph on password encryption, but most of them leave out any mention of these kind of basic security flaws.
Even if the writers didn't explicitly write chapters dedicated to security, obviously even that wouldn't be enough, they should at least note which code is entirely unsafe in production, and where you can learn more about it.
Every rails book is filled with this sort of code that people learn, and then use.
