      db.dropDatabase();

var doc = {time: new Date("2019-10-11T14:39:18.670Z"), x: 5};

db.tsColl.insert(doc);
db.regColl.insert(doc);

var pipeline = [{$project: {_id: 0, a: "$x", b: "$a"}}];
var tsDoc = db.tsColl.aggregate(pipeline).toArray();
var regDoc = db.regColl.aggregate(pipeline).toArray();
assert.eq(tsDoc,regDoc);

      The above produces the following error:

      See included reproducer. In a $project stage like {$project: {a: "$meta", b: "$a"}}, the "$a" expression should only be able to reference a value in the original document passed to the $project stage. For time-series collections, if it references the name of a different projection field, where that field references the meta field value, then it is populated with the metadata value as well.
