I can confirm this (even with having access to the server).
However, this is just an issue with the tests in the 0.6.*
branch. In  HEAD, test_init has been moved into the tests of
the various backends, where the mysql tests do work.

I'm inclined to set this issue to wontfix. It may be a bit
shoddy to release with a failing test, but as it's not a
real bug in the backend I'm not too concerned about it.
Comments?
