      When we attempt to index a document that is ambiguous for the key pattern {‘a.0’: 1}, BtreeKeyGenerator::_extractNextElement() includes the contents of the array field in the uassert error message, with error code 16746. When the command processing subsystem converts this UserAssertion into a Status for the createIndexes command result, the result may exceed the 16 MB BSON document limit, leading to a different error code BSONObjectTooLarge returned in the final result. This obscures the original source of the indexing error.

      To reproduce:

      // Add a small document first. We cannot transmit a document larger than the 16mb over the wire.
      const dupDoc = {a: [{'0': 1}]};
      t.save(dupDoc);
      
      // This extends the array with nulls before append the requested integer.
      // The 1,5000,000 constant is based on a limit defined in path_support.h
      t.update({}, {$set: {'a.1500001': 1}});
      
      // This should fail with an error code of 16746 instead of BSONObjectTooLarge.
      t.ensureIndex({'a.0': 1});
