Selenium :: WebDriver :: Error :: UnhandledAlertError) after rejecting a warning

We have a Cucumber script that looks like this:

  @selenium
  Scenario: I can be told that geolocation is unavailable                                            # features/home_page.feature:57
    Given I am a visitor                                                                             # features/step_definitions/authentication_steps.rb:5
    When I visit the homepage                                                                        # features/step_definitions/home_page_steps.rb:1
    And I have declined geolocation permissions                                                      # features/step_definitions/home_page_steps.rb:14
    And I click the geolocate button                                                                 # features/step_definitions/home_page_steps.rb:18
    Then I see an alert "Unable to determine your current location. Please type an address instead." # features/step_definitions/web_steps.rb:104

The step is I see an alert "(.+?)"defined as:

Then(/^I see an alert "(.+?)"$/) do |content|
  page.driver.browser.switch_to.alert.text.should == content
  page.driver.browser.switch_to.alert.dismiss
end

For some reason, rejecting this warning is not enough. The following script in a line always fails:

We tried updating selenium-webdriver and capybara to no avail. The only thing that has worked so far is to duplicate the firing line, which seems rude, but always gets rid of the dialogue. There is definitely only one dialogue, so what gives?
