It looks like this is how Node's querystring module behaves (see nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#7971 for a discussion). Since it is using URL strings, there is always limitations (e.g. conversion and things like empty values etc.) imposed when using the REST clients (this is not an issue when using websockets).

Adding null (like { $in: [ null ] }) seems to make it work (but it might not be converted back into an empty array). The extended query parser qs seems to behave the same way so I don't think there is much we can do.
