Answer 1

I'm running the current versions of everything on WinXP SP3: Ruby 1.9.2p0, MySQL 5.5, mysql 2.8.1. This issue is still present and to fix it I had to copy the Instant Rails libmysql.dll into my C:\Ruby192\bin directory. I initially copied the libmysql.dll file that came with MySQL 5.5 but that caused a seq fault!
