      Start a ShardingTest as:

      // sharding test MUST be started with noAutoSplit
var st = new ShardingTest({ mongos : 2, shards : 3, rs : { nodes : 3 }, other : { mongosOptions : { noAutoSplit: "" } } })

      Then connect to a mongos in the cluster and run the following:

      var db = db.getSiblingDB("test");

// insert some data
for (var i=0; i<1000; i++) {
    db.foo.insert({ _id : i });
}

// enable sharding
db.adminCommand({ enableSharding: db.getName() });
db.adminCommand({ shardCollection: "test.foo", key: { _id: 1 } });

// create two chunks
db.adminCommand({ split : "test.foo", middle: { _id : 1000 } });

// put the two chunks on separate shards
db.adminCommand({ moveChunk : "test.foo", find : { _id : 0 }, to : "test-rs0" });
db.adminCommand({ moveChunk : "test.foo", find : { _id : 1001 }, to : "test-rs1" });

// shows that both test-rs0 and test-rs1 are targeted
// even though the chunks are [-inf, 1000) and [1000, +inf)
printjson(db.foo.find({ _id : { $lt : 1000 } }).explain());

      Chunks are inclusive at the lower bound and exclusive at the upper bound.

      However, find queries over a range of the form

      { $lt : X }

      where X is the upper bound of a chunk also targets the shard containing the chunk whose lower bound is X (at least according to find().explain()).

      Note that a point query for X will only (and correctly) target the shard with the chunk whose lower bound is X.
      Similarly, a query of the form

      { $lte : X }

      will (correctly) target the shard for both chunks.

      This is undesirable both from a performance perspective, since an additional shard is unnecessarily targeted in this situation, and a testing perspective, since .explain() cannot be used to verify that all documents within a chunk's range lie only on the shard the chunk is expected to be on.
