      Create an Empty DB
      Create a new Collection
      Add 4 Documents:

      { "_id" : ObjectId("587fa5ed7bc1efc69f4763e1"),  "loc" : [ NumberInt(1),  NumberInt(1) ],  "lac" : [ { "tankId" : ObjectId("587fa5f04f4efe9c42d0dc51")}]}
{ "_id" : ObjectId("587fa5ed7bc1efc69f4763e2"),  "loc" : [ NumberInt(1),  NumberInt(1) ],  "lpc" : [ { "tankId" : ObjectId("587fa5f04f4efe9c42d0dc52")}]}
{ "_id" : ObjectId("587fa5ed7bc1efc69f4763e3"),  "loc" : [ NumberInt(1),  NumberInt(1) ],  "lac" : [ { "tankId" : ObjectId("587fa5f04f4efe9c42d0dc53")}]}
{ "_id" : ObjectId("587fa5ed7bc1efc69f4763e4"),  "loc" : [ NumberInt(1),  NumberInt(1) ],  "lpc" : [ { "tankId" : ObjectId("587fa5f04f4efe9c42d0dc54")}]}

      Now Run 4 Queries, each to update the array in exactly the same way:

      db.testing.update({"lac.tankId": ObjectId("587fa5f04f4efe9c42d0dc51"), "loc": [1,1] }, {$set:{"lac.$.test":1}})
db.testing.update({"lpc.tankId": ObjectId("587fa5f04f4efe9c42d0dc52"), "loc": [1,1] }, {$set:{"lpc.$.test":1}})
db.testing.update({"lac.tankId": ObjectId("587fa5f04f4efe9c42d0dc53"), "loc.0": 1, "loc.1":1 }, {$set:{"lac.$.test":1}})
db.testing.update({"lpc.tankId": ObjectId("587fa5f04f4efe9c42d0dc54"), "loc.0": 1, "loc.1":1 }, {$set:{"lpc.$.test":1}})

      You will have 3 identical and 1 that does not look right.

      Using a different versions of the same query have different results when updating a value in an array.
      If the array key name is alphabetically after the key "loc" field in the query it does not update but insert a blank subdocument.

      changing

      { "_id" : ObjectId("587fa5ed7bc1efc69f4763e3"),  "loc" : [ NumberInt(1),  NumberInt(1) ],  "lac" : [ { "tankId" : ObjectId("587fa5f04f4efe9c42d0dc53")}]}
{ "_id" : ObjectId("587fa5ed7bc1efc69f4763e4"),  "loc" : [ NumberInt(1),  NumberInt(1) ],  "lpc" : [ { "tankId" : ObjectId("587fa5f04f4efe9c42d0dc54")}]}

      with:

      db.testing.update({"lac.tankId": ObjectId("587fa5f04f4efe9c42d0dc53"), "loc.0": 1, "loc.1":1 }, {$set:{"lac.$.test":1}})
db.testing.update({"lpc.tankId": ObjectId("587fa5f04f4efe9c42d0dc54"), "loc.0": 1, "loc.1":1 }, {$set:{"lpc.$.test":1}})

      should result in

      { "_id" : ObjectId("587fa5ed7bc1efc69f4763e3"),  "loc" : [ NumberInt(1),  NumberInt(1) ],  "lac" : [ { "tankId" : ObjectId("587fa5f04f4efe9c42d0dc53"), test: 1}]}
{ "_id" : ObjectId("587fa5ed7bc1efc69f4763e4"),  "loc" : [ NumberInt(1),  NumberInt(1) ],  "lpc" : [ { "tankId" : ObjectId("587fa5f04f4efe9c42d0dc54"), test: 1}]}

      but ends up with:

      { "_id" : ObjectId("587fa5ed7bc1efc69f4763e3"),  "loc" : [ NumberInt(1),  NumberInt(1) ],  "lac" : [ { "tankId" : ObjectId("587fa5f04f4efe9c42d0dc53"), test: 1}]}
{ "_id" : ObjectId("587fa5ed7bc1efc69f4763e4"),  "loc" : [ NumberInt(1),  NumberInt(1) ],  "lpc" : [ { "tankId" : ObjectId("587fa5f04f4efe9c42d0dc54")}, {test: 1}]}
