Thanks Allastair, Leon, Tim, anyone else I missed. Bingo, that was it. I didn't even try looking at mysql.com, duh. In my defense (;-), I'd already spent a bunch of time in incompatible version hell with other things, so I was (too) ready to think it either wouldn't work period, or I'd borked it up somehow. Bless the problems you can fix, easily, even...
