This is what worked for me. The key is defining a real module to be mocked. Calling angular.mock.module makes the real module mockable and allows things to be connected.

    beforeEach( ->
        @weather_service_url = '/weather_service_url'
        @weather_provider_url = '/weather_provider_url'
        @weather_provider_image = "test.jpeg"
        @http_ret = 'http_works'
        module = angular.module('mockModule',[])
        module.value('weather_service_url', @weather_service_url)
        module.value('weather_provider_url', @weather_provider_url)
        module.value('weather_provider_image', @weather_provider_image)
        module.service('weather_bug_service', services.WeatherBugService)

        angular.mock.module('mockModule')

        inject( ($httpBackend,weather_bug_service) =>
            @$httpBackend = $httpBackend
            @$httpBackend.when('GET', @weather_service_url).respond(@http_ret)
            @subject = weather_bug_service
        )
    )
