Rails3.1: Options in a custom validator?

I wrote this custom validator:

class SecureTokenValidator < ActiveModel::EachValidator
  def validate_each(object, attribute, value)
    Rails.logger.debug("validate_each options: #{options.inspect}")
  end
end

And here the model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_secure_password

  attr_accessor :token

  validates_length_of :password, minimum: 6
  validates_uniqueness_of :email

  validates :token, secure_token: {attributes: %w(salutation first_name last_name) }
end

But the options are not passed to validator, here the entry from the log:

validate_each options: {}

Why? I'm using Rails 3.1.1 on Ruby 1.9.2p290

I had to choose a different name than attributes for my option. Now it's called attribute_order and works fine.
