This is a follow-up bug from #254 . It was supposed to be fixed then, but I got the same issue today. To reproduce, simply use one of the tests in the commit without the fix. The _get method with _mapping: true fails with custom idFields and returns undefined for the mapping key. Since that is what is used during population, population is also broken, which could fix issues #325 and #296.
The problem was the line origDoc = doc, which did not truly copy the document, simply assigned it by reference. Our reference to the original document was thus lost during transformDocument method, as doc variable is mutated there.
