`ActionView::Template::Error`: Missing Active Model partial when rendered from Controller declared in module about rails HOT 4 OPEN

After doing more searching, this is intended behavior when config.action_view.prefix_partial_path_with_controller_namespace = true (true by default).

This change was introduced in March of 2012 as part of #5625.

I'm considering two resolutions:

1. catch this particular source of ActionView::Template::Error, check for the presence of models/_model.html.erb. If the file exists, change the error message to mention the config.action_view.prefix_partial_path_with_controller_namespace configuration)
2. add models/ as a lookup context prefix (in addition to scoped/models/), then attempt to gracefully fall back to the unscoped model partial.

As a consumer of Action View, my intuition is that the lookup would fallback, in the same way that a controller that inherits from ApplicationController could define its own view, then rely on fallback to render an app/views/application partial.

@rafaelfranca do either of those options seem viable?

I've opened #50852 to explore this option.
