Empty objects interpreted and persisted as arrays

1.Create a document such as
{
  "foo":"foo"
  "bar":{}
}
2. View the record in rockmongo

Expected output:
{
  "foo":"foo"
  "bar":{}
}
Actual:
{
  "foo":"foo"
  "bar":[]
}

3. Additionally, if the document is updated it is persisted with an empty array 
instead of an object. This is true when another key/value is update or the 
empty array, even if you replace the array with an empty object it is persisted 
as an array.
