I'll answer my own question.

The documentation is wrong.

Instead create a file (an initializer) in config\initializers. I called mine
add_to_asset_paths.rb

My config\initializers\add_to_asset_paths.rb looks like
- - - - -
# Ralph: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/asset_pipeline.html is wrong
Rails.application.config.assets.paths << (Rails.root.join("app", "assets", "flash")).to_s
- - - - -

I hope this saves someone else from pulling their hair out.
