mysqlcheck encloses dots in a table in backticks, this doesn't make sense though as never expects to see a db.table combination (database and table names are passed in as separate parameters)

This breaks mysqlcheck, and indirectly mysql_upgrade, for tables with a dot in their name

test case:

  CREATE TABLE test.`foo.bar`(id int primary key);

then run

  mysqlcheck test foo.bar

or

  mysql_upgrade --force
