I do not think that there is a builtin assertion for exception
messages, but defining your assert_raise_message is easy[1].
But I thought I'd point out a small detail:

this seem slightly wrong, wouldn't it be 
  begin
    # raise SomeException with "some message"
  rescue => e
    assert_equal("some message", e.message)
    assert_instance_of SomeException, e
  end
?
perlish variables are ugly and I think there is no need to raise the
exception again.

even but I'd like to have a simple way to have filter_backtrace hide my own
custom assertions
