When a server has the index supporting a foreign key removed by disabling foreign key checks first, and is later re-started with foreign_key_checks=ON, attempting to read the table produces an error indicating the table does not exist:

MariaDB [t3]> select count(*) from s3;

ERROR 1932 (42S02): Table 't3.s3' doesn't exist in engine

and attempting to drop the database produces this error:

MariaDB [test]> drop database t3;

ERROR 1010 (HY000): Error dropping database (can't rmdir './t3', errno: 66 "Directory not empty")

Would it be possible for the errors to be more clearly indicative of the corruption in the table structure?
