    Description

      Query behavior discrepancy: In version 2.4 of MongoDB, there's no support for doing an $elemMatch on an index of an array field. This is supported in 2.5, however. Intuitively, the 2.5 behavior seems correct, which could mean 2.4 should be updated or this change in behavior should have some documentation (and this ticket can be moved to DOCS).
