It isn't possible to insert a document with a $ref key at the top-level, so there's no way for the query to ever match anything.
> db.mycoll.insert({$ref: 'mycoll', $id: 1})
WriteResult({
"nInserted" : 0,
"writeError" : {
"code" : 2,
"errmsg" : "Document can't have $ prefixed field names: $ref"
}
})
