Error when reloading with a nil embedded field

      We get an error with the following code: 

      class Band
  include Mongoid::Document
  embeds_one :label
end
class Label
  include Mongoid::Document
  field :name, type: String
  embedded_in :band
end

label = Label.new(name: "Neil")
b = Band.new(label: label)
b.save!
b.label = nil
label.reload  # error

      This spawns the following error:

      `reload': undefined method `empty?' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

      Which seems incorrect. I think an error should still be raised in this case, but a more appropriate one with a more descriptive message.
