Description:
DESC cannot display the information of the temporary table with multi-byte table name. For nomal table, this does not happen. Also, it was fine as of 5.0.10.

How to repeat:
mysql> create table `あ`(a int);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.11 sec)

mysql> desc `あ`;
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type    | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| a     | int(11) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

mysql> drop table `あ`;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> create temporary table `あ`(a int);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> desc `あ`;
ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table 'test.あ' doesn't exist
mysql> drop table `あ`;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

DESCRIBE does not work even with temporary tables with ascii names.

mysql> create temporary table tmp_table(a int);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> describe tmp_table;
ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table 'test.tmp_table' doesn't exist
