      After renaming a collection which contains background indexes, the collection will be successfully renamed on the primary, correctly recorded in the oplog, but does not replicate, ie. the collection will not have been renamed on the secondaries. This is due to the following error on the secondaries:

      The problem does not occur in 2.7.5, so it must have been fixed between 2.7.4 and 2.7.5. It's still present in 2.6.4.
