Empty hash {} is being converted to empty array []

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Found a very wierd bug, that broke my application.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. If you insert such document:
{
  "arr": [
    {
      "param1": "val1"
    },
    {
      "param2": "val2"
    },
    {}
  ]
}
(note the last item in array is an empty hash)

2. And then will view it in RockMongo, or open for update, or export it you 
will see next:
{
  "arr": [
    {
      "param1": "val1"
    },
    {
      "param2": "val2"
    },
    [

    ]
  ]
}
(note the last item in array was converted to array)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

There should be a hash.

RockMongo Version (RockMongo v1.1.5)

Operation System (WindowsXP SP3)

PHP Version (5.3.16)

php_mongo Version (mongo/1.2.7-)

MongoDB version (2.0.7-rc0)

Please provide any additional information below.

I second this for RockMongo-on-Windows. Mostly annoying and almost embracing. 
Is there an workaround?
