Right now we allow updates on docs in capped collections, as long as docs don't grow past the size of their initial allocation. However, during initial sync, the data is cloned but the initial allocation size is lost on the secondary. So if inserts or updates which affect document size occur during the cloning process, when replaying the docs you can get an error message saying "objects in a capped ns cannot grow."
For instance, this happens if the following sequence of ops happens during initial sync:
- db.foo.insert(
{ a : 1, b : "big "}
)
- db.foo.update(
{ a : 1 }
, {$unset : {b : 1}})
If the smaller version of the doc is cloned during the initial sync, you will get an error message at the end of the initial sync when it goes to apply the ops:

***aborting after fassert() failure
Even if initial sync manages to succeed, it's possible that future updates which grow a document on the primary will break replication, because there is no space for the doc to grow on the secondary. I've verified that this can occur, and the error message is similar to above.
