Comment:

 Thank you for the bug report, @benjamincmarks!

 It's not possible for WordPress to alter the TMD file - this is generated
 by the MySQL server, and has to be removed on the server.

 If a repair fails, it can also be dangerous to remove the TMD file without
 backing it up, as there may be recoverable data in it.

 WordPress' `repair.php` is only intended to do basic repair queries,
 anything more detailed must be done by hand.
