Comment(by gazouteast):

 This error also appears when wp_options has hit circa 100,000+ rows (on
 shared and VPS hosting) - I'm not sure if the limitation is from MySQL or
 simply a "query taking too long to get answer" issue.

 Related - if a SQL table has crashed, MySQL has the ability to return that
 in the error, WP doesn't seem capable of returning that reason - might be
 worth a look see to check if could be added to verbosity?
