      1. create a new empty collection "users"
      2. Execute the following query, should fail

      > db.users.findAndModify({query: {emails:"test@gmail.com"}, update:{"$addToSet": {"emails": "test@gmail.com"}, "$set": {"name": "Tamer"}}, upsert: true})

      Read Steps To Reproduce first.
      I think findAndModify with upsert flag in case the object is not found, uses the query as the schema of the object. Query like:

      {emails:"test@gmail.com"}

      makes Mongodb thinks emails field contain string (although the collection is empty). While query like {$elemMatch: { $regex: 'test@gmail.com', $options: 'i' }} works just fine.

      I tested only on v2.6.2

      Note: Replacing $addToSet with $push, results in the same issues.
