You read my mind - I was just trying exactly that when your email
arrived.  Unfortunately, it does not work:

MariaDB [mythconverg]> select hostname,value,data from (select
'settings',s.hostname,s.value,s.data from settings s union all select
'settings_old',o.hostname,o.value,o.data from settings_old o) t where
hostname is null or hostname='mypvr' group by hostname,value having
count(*)=1 order by hostname,value;
