libmysqlclient incompatibility: uses MYSQL_TYPE_NEWDATE, not supported by MySQL Connector/C++

Using bzr/launchpad snapshot revision 40, connecting to MySQL.

Given the table:

CREATE TABLE `oldfmpro` (
...
`Filing_Date1` date DEFAULT NULL,
...
`Prio_FF_Date1` date DEFAULT NULL,
...
)

and the view

CREATE OR REPLACE ALGORITHM=UNDEFINED SQL SECURITY DEFINER VIEW `natpha_ddl` AS
select ..., if(((`oldfmpro`.`Prio_FF_Date1` + interval 30 month) is not null),(`oldfmpro`.`Prio_FF_Date1` + interval 30 month),(`oldfmpro`.`Filing_Date1` + interval 30 month)) AS `NATPHA` from `oldfmpro` where ((`oldfmpro`.`Filing_Num` is not null) and (`oldfmpro`.`Ctry_Short` = 'WO') and (`oldfmpro`.`IngJur` like '%ajt%') and (`oldfmpro`.`Filing_Date1` >= (curdate() + interval -(30) month))) order by if(((`oldfmpro`.`Prio_FF_Date1` + interval 30 month) is not null),(`oldfmpro`.`Prio_FF_Date1` + interval 30 month),(`oldfmpro`.`Filing_Date1` + interval 30 month));

When calling mysql_fetch_field on "SELECT * FROM natpha_ddl", for column NATPHA, mariadb client library for C returns:

Which breaks MySQL Connector/C++, which does not support this column type; it throws error:
sql::InvalidArgumentException("allocate_buffer_for_field: invalid rbind data type");

Background:
LibreOffice, in its "master" (trunk) development, has swapped out libmysqlclient for the MariaDB client library for C, and for the time being uses it through MySQL Connector/C+. This breaks this scenario. We are using a bzr snapshot because version 1.0.0 has API incompatibilities with libmysqlclient, which are used by MySQL Connector/C+:

• missing symbols mysql_library_init and mysql_library_end
• missing parameter "cipher" to mysql_ssl_set
