Comment (by dustin):

 I struggled with this a bit too, while setting up the new linux worker via
 docker.

 https://github.com/buildbot/metabbotcfg/blob/master/docker/metamysql/bbtest.sql

 was the result -- basically, the table needs to be created with the 'utf8'
 character set, which the docker image does not, preferring latin-1.  I'd
 say "bizarrely does not" but this is MySQL we're talking about, so it's
 about what I'd expect.
