      Since there is no way to create an arbitrary BSONObj to send to the server from the mongo shell, used the mgo driver to create an index spec with a duplicate element name.

      package main

import (
  "gopkg.in/mgo.v2"
  "log"
)

func main() {
  session, err := mgo.Dial("127.0.0.1:27017")
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }

  err = session.DB("test").DropDatabase()
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }

  coll := session.DB("test").C("coll")

  index := mgo.Index{
    Key: []string{"a", "a", "b"},
  }
  err = coll.EnsureIndex(index)
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }
}

      An index with duplicate element names in the index spec can be created:

      > db.coll.getIndexes()
[
  {
    "v" : 1,
    "key" : {
      "_id" : 1
    },
    "name" : "_id_",
    "ns" : "test.coll"
  },
  {
    "v" : 1,
    "key" : {
      "a" : 1,
      "a" : 1,
      "b" : 1
    },
    "name" : "a_1_a_1_b_1",
    "ns" : "test.coll"
  }
]
