      Due to strict FieldPath validation, aggregation pipelines cannot process fields that start with a $ character (commonly found in the system.profile collection).

      Steps to reproduce (copied here so code formatting works):

      db.system.profile.drop();
db.setProfilingLevel(2);
db.foo.update({},{$set:{x:1}})
db.setProfilingLevel(0);
db.system.profile.aggregate([
  { "$match" : {"op" : "update"}},
  { "$project" : {"set" : "$updateobj.$set"}}
]);

      Exception:

        "errmsg" : "exception: FieldPath field names may not start with '$'.",
  "code" : 16410,
  "ok" : 0
