      I tried to debug it by placing console.log in various places and comparing it to a case in which the change stream initialised without issues. In the case which lead to the above error the cursor returned by initial aggregation (logged here) operation didn't have postBatchResumeToken property and had id = Long(0):
       

      {
        firstBatch: [],
        id: Long { _bsontype: 'Long', low_: 0, high_: 0 },
        ns: 'my-db.my-collection'
      }
