      The type conversion from ObjectId to String is invalid compared to previous MongoDB versions.

      In Mongo 2.0.x:

      var oid = new ObjectId("50575c152c2414982d000003");
var oidAsString = String(oid);
print(typeof oidAsString); // string
print(oidAsString); // 50575c152c2414982d000003

      In Mongo 2.2.x:

      var oid = new ObjectId("50575c152c2414982d000003");
var oidAsString = String(oid);
print(typeof oidAsString); // string
print(oidAsString); // ObjectId("50575c152c2414982d000003")

      I would expect the converted value to be the hex string as described in 2.0.x.

      This issue is similar to SERVER-5439, however, this is not an improvement but a bug.
