Comment (by pento):

 That's a pretty impressive find. It's
 [http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/example-auto-
 increment.html#idm47530567376304 documented InnoDB behaviour], so I
 wouldn't expect it to be fixed in MySQL ever.

 Given how old and buggy the global terms code is (I spotted a couple of
 bugs in global_terms() just reading it), I'd be inclined to delete all of
 this code, and pretend it never happened.
