Starting with the 7.3 server multibyte support came compiled in always, so
the JDBC driver started asking the server to do all conversion between
character sets and somewhere in there (the server conversion) is the bug.
The 7.2 JDBC driver doesn't know about this available functionality so it
doesn't come across the bug.
