Hi artondavis,
Since this issue was related to the third party product MySQL, you know that actually it has his own supported site here:
http://forums.mysql.com/
So if possible, you could start a discussion in the MySQL forum, I think you could get dedicated support there.
In addition, a document also shared some information about it:
