      The update expression

      {$set: {"a.$[5]": 0}}

      should update the element at position 5 of array a to 0. This syntax should be used for updating arrays in oplog entries instead of 

      {$set: {"a.5": 0}}

      which is ambiguous as to whether it means the array element at position 5, or a field of an object with name "5".
