Comment:

 [attachment:37982.2.diff] adds unit tests.

 For anyone looking at this ticket not comfortable making changes to
 WordPress Core, a workaround is to set your `DB_CHARSET` to `utf8` instead
 of `utf8mb4`.

 Please still test that the patch works for you, though. I'd like some more
 checks before I commit it.
