Description:
That delimiter doesn't work is registered in several other bugs (#5337 for example). But the \d command works differently, and for some reason seems to work better.

How to repeat:
File s1.sql:
delimiter //
create table tmp1(c1 int)
//
delimiter ;
drop table tmp1;

File s2.sql:
\d //
create table tmp1(c1 int)
//
\d ;
drop table tmp1;

$ mysql test
mysql> \. s1.sql
ERROR 1051 (42S02): Unknown table 'tmp1'
mysql> exit
$ mysql test
mysql> \. s2.sql

mysql> exit

Fixed in 5.0.12. Built-in client commands such as delimiter and \d are now always parsed within files that are read using the  \. and source commands.
