Does it work if you use MyISAM tables? Just a hunch, based on something
I ran into in 2002:
http://www.lafferty.ca/stuff/misc/innodb-autoincrement-bug
but never had time/reason to investigate further (MyISAM proved
sufficient in that application). If you can duplicate what I
saw then it might be worth following up with MySQL AB after testing
in the latest MySQL release.
