Autovalue not run for fields in an array of embedded documents when specified with a positional ("$") operator

Given a document with a field specified as an array of embedded documents, like so:

SubSchema = new SimpleSchema({
  value: {
    type: String,
    autoValue: function() {
      return "autovalue";
    }
  }
});

TestSchema = new SimpleSchema({
  children: {
    type: [SubSchema]
  }
});

A modifier that updates a value within a single embedded document specified with a position operator (‘$’) will not trigger the autovalue. That is, the following doesn’t call the autovalue function:

var mod = {
  $set: {"children.$.value": "should be overridden by autovalue"}
};
TestSchema.clean(mod, {isModifier: true});
