I was running .21-fixes and upgraded to trunk in place, didn't touch
the database except to make the backup.
I tried to upgrade the database by using mythtv-setup
It is quite possible that I did a restore at some point in the history
of running myth, in fact I am positive I have. I was able to
replicate the error, after dropping the database and restoring it,
both just doing a straight restore, and after creating the database
with mc.sql and then restoring the data.

I am using gentoo, but I have never installed myth through gentoo,
always compiled from source. mysql was install through gentoo with
the following use flags:
[ebuild R ] dev-db/mysql-5.0.70-r1 USE="berkdb perl ssl
-big-tables -cluster -debug -embedded -extraengine -latin1
-max-idx-128 -minimal (-selinux) -static"
