Most people don't notice this, since all distributions recompile
everything that depends on MySQL from scratch anyway. But for FPC, the case
is different.
MySQL is "deprecated", and there are several open source projects that uses
the same code base, but try to provide better support
(http://mariadb.org/for example).
The problem is, that most people know "MySQL". so here is the problem you
describe :(
If these forks use the same tactics, they are not better suited for a FPC
program. Since the same people that started MySQL are now working on these
forks, I think the chances are high that they use the same mechanisms...
So, use a more stable DB. If you need open source: Postgres or Firebird...
