Test: retrying save after a unique index error does not work

mongoose-unique-index-error-test.js

/** 
 * Create a situation where a unique index error will occur. Try to save the
 * object again after making the relevant field unique. Expected behavior:
 * object saves second (or third...) time and we wind up with ten objects. Actual behavior: 
 * we get just one object and there is a unique index error after all ten save callbacks
 * have already been invoked "successfully"! This is really strange, even stranger than I
 * thought. Maybe the index is not applied yet somehow and I need to wait on the schema
 * being ready?
