      $push operator allows database updates with dots (".") in the keys on subdocuments.

      I found this issue when I was coding today in PHP, then reproduced it in MongoVue on a Windows 7 system.

      Using $set, I very properly get the following error:
      "Error in performing Update
      Safemode detected an error 'not okForStorage'. (Response was

      { "err" : "not okForStorage", "code" : 12527, "n" : 0, "connectionId" : 853, "ok" : 1.0 }

      ).

      Using $push, the update succeeds, but later edits (properly) yield the following message:
      Error - unable to modify value
      Element name 'blam.0' is not valid because it contains a '.'.
      Type: MongoDB.Bson.BsonSerializationException
