      I came across the following error when I tried to serialize one of our documents. We submit exception documents with our product. So the following document came from a security scan of some kind.. Anyways mongo blew up and we caught the exception. We have a few hundred reports of this.

      The value trying to be inserted is "\u0000\"><script>alert(309)</script>"

      System.ArgumentException : Element names cannot contain nulls.
      Parameter name: name
