      Running the following commands on 2.6 and 2.4 gives different output when running following commands:

      db.createCollection("PositionalOperatorRepro")
db.PositionalOperatorRepro.insert({"_id": "test1",  "Items": [ { "Id": 1 }, { "Id": 2 }  ] })
db.PositionalOperatorRepro.find({ "_id" : "test1", "Items" : { "$exists" : true, "$elemMatch" : { "Id" : 2 } } } , { "Items.$" : 1 })

      // 2.4 returns
{.. Items: [{Id:2}]}
// 2.6 returns
{.. Items: [{Id:1}]}
// 2.6 without $exists
{.. Items: [{Id:2}]}

      If we remove the "$exists" : true criteria the output will be the same.

      Is this change documented anywhere? There could be compatibility issues when upgrading.

      I'm attaching a screen shot where I reproduced this behavior.
