Bug #12306	Error while storing the user information

Description:
When attempting to add a new user I receive the following error:

Error while storing the user information. The user might have been deleted. Please refresh the user list.

The user is apparently being added, because the new user name persists when I restart the service. However, I receive the same error if I try to change privleges for a given user. Those changes do not make it into the database. I have searched all day for a solution to this problem, but to no avail. I did find that this problem was evident in previous versions, but it was reported fixed. I'm guessing it's back. I noticed that there was an issue with the utf8 not being default, but as this db does not yet have any tables (I'm trying to install moveable type and have yet to successfully install it since I cannot set priveleges for any of my users), I can't check to see if that is a problem.

How to repeat:
try to make any changes to users or user priveleges

I can confirm this bug on Windows 2000, too.

I can also confirm this bug on windows XP Pro too

Can anyone recommend a different GUI until I get this issue resolved? I'm in a pickle!
