Comment (by nacin):

 I'm noticing in [attachment:5932.diff] that there is a `return false` when
 the connection fails. But it's possible that the bail() doesn't result in
 a wp_die(). Then $wpdb->last_error isn't set, $wpdb->insert_id isn't
 reset, and we have various potential problems. How exactly should this
 work?
