      Initial document state: {}

      Oplog entries:

      1: {$set: {a: '15MB string'}}
      2: {$set: {a: ''}}
      3: {$set: {b: '15MB string}}
      

      Final state:

      {a: '', b: '15MB string'}

      Note that at no point is the document more than 16MB so this is a valid sequence of events from the primary's perspective.

      If we start applying Oplog entry 1 to the final document (which initial sync assumes is valid) we will have a document temporarily larger than 16MB which will cause an error and abort the server.
