LP:813473 - Wrong result with outer join + NOT IN subquery

Repeatable in maria-5.3, maria-5.2, maria-5.1, mysql-5.5 . Not repeatable in mysql-5.1. Not influenced by optimizer switches.

The following query:

SELECT t2.b , t1.c
FROM t2 LEFT JOIN t1 ON t2.a != 0
WHERE ( t2.b , t1.c ) NOT IN ( SELECT 2 , 9 );

does not return rows for which the WHERE predicate is true. It returns an empty result in maria and mysql-5.5 and in mysql-5.1 it returns:

b c
9 NULL
9 NULL

test case:

CREATE TABLE t1 (c int) ;

CREATE TABLE t2 (a int, b int) ;
INSERT INTO t2 VALUES (20,9),(20,9);

SELECT t2.b , t1.c
FROM t2 LEFT JOIN t1 ON t2.a != 0
WHERE ( t2.b , t1.c ) NOT IN ( SELECT 2 , 9 );

explain:

optimizer switch:
