This should have been fixed since shortly after it was reported: the problem is that there's a performance hack to copy the database verbatim without bothering about dealing with any interoperability issues which doesn't work if the master and slave write the database out incompatibly (for example, due to different type sizes). The problem was that the code was assuming that nobody ever ran in an environment where that happened and was therefore complaining excessively loudly when it did happen.
