      If you do queries:

      > db.test.insert({nested: [{a: 1, slug: 'aaa'}, {a: 1, slug: 'aaa'}, {a: 2, slug: 'aaa'}]})
> db.test.find()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("52763c5cb6786ce4ff406cbf"), "nested" : [ { "a" : 1, "slug" : "aaa" }, { "a" : 1, "slug" : "aaa" }, { "a" : 2, "slug" : "aaa" } ] }
> db.test.update({'nested.a': 1, $or: [{'nested': {$elemMatch: {a: 1, slug: {$exists: true}}}}]}, {$unset: {'nested.$.slug': ''}})
> db.test.find()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("52763c5cb6786ce4ff406cbf"), "nested" : [ { "a" : 1 }, { "a" : 1, "slug" : "aaa" }, { "a" : 2, "slug" : "aaa" } ] }
> db.test.update({'nested.a': 1, $or: [{'nested': {$elemMatch: {a: 1, slug: {$exists: true}}}}]}, {$unset: {'nested.$.slug': ''}})
> db.test.find()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("52763c5cb6786ce4ff406cbf"), "nested" : [ { "a" : 1 }, { "a" : 1, "slug" : "aaa" }, { "a" : 2, "slug" : "aaa" } ] }

      I would expect that the second update will remove slug from second a == 1 array element. But it does not. On the other hand, if I run:

      db.test.update({'nested.a': 1, 'nested': {$elemMatch: {a: 1, slug: {$exists: true}}}}, {$unset: {'nested.$.slug': ''}})

      Second slug is correctly removed.

      There seems to be inconsistency when using $or in combination with $elemMatch. See steps to reproduce.
