The Ruby driver can save and retrieve a BSON Symbol if the saved document is modified via JVM langauges that wrap the Java driver, the Symbol would be replaced with a String.
To allow retrieving of Bson Symbols I would suggest this:
_put( name , new Symbol(v) );
I have patched and jar'ed my fork and my tests in JRuby do save and retrieve a Ruby Symbol.
I am not in a position to check the other JVM languages though, sorry.
