An easier script reproducing the same problem:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
CREATE TABLE t1 (a set('a') DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL) CHARSET=utf8;

Hello Shuichi, 
although  http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=11819 was reported
later than this one, it describes the sources of the problem clearer.
So, I'm closing this report as duplicate, and will fix the problem
under the terms of bug#11819. Thanks for reporting anyway  :)
