It makes the hidden checkboxes deliver "" instead of "0", which is ignored in the controller. this is my workaround:

<% form.fields_for :foo_ids do |f| %>
<% @foos.each do |foo| %>
<%= f.check_box [], {:checked=>…}, foo.id, nil %>
<% end %>
<% end %>

The magic lies in that nil. It makes the hidden checkboxes deliver "" instead of "0", which is ignored in the controller.
