The message in French is:
La mise à jour basée sur une requête a échouée car la ligne à mettre à
jour est introuvable.
Which translates roughly to English (sorry couldn't find the proper
translation):
The query-based update failed because the row to update cannot be found.
The column in question is NOT in the primary key, and this only
happens when the row is created with lf (and probably crlf) in it -
there is no problem setting it to null in other circumstances.

That seems to fix it. I guess I understand why... I would still
consider it a bug though - shouldn't the driver take into account the
fact that it is doing this conversion when looking for the row?
