Description:
This is because when it reads an Exec_load, mysqlbinlog expects to have already read a Create_file.
But if used with --position to start the read between the 2 events, mysqlbinlog does not have the Create_file.
Other minor problem: if mysqlbinlog reads a Append_block without having read the Create_file, it stops. It should not, because it can be because of --position.

How to repeat:
Do a LOAD DATA INFILE, and do mysqlbinlog --position=X on the binlog, where X is the position of the Exec_load event.

Suggested fix:
Print warnings when there is no Create_file event before.
