Comment (by dd32):

 It'd be good to get a list of requirements that need to be hit for this
 case to show up.

 As far as I can tell, it requires
  * MySQL to be setup not to use networking
  * WordPress to be setup to use networking, not a socket address
  * php.ini mysqli set to incorrect socket path
  * php.ini mysql set to correct socket path

 Does that sound like the correct set of conditions to reproduce this?
