MySQL 8.4 and later, --comments is ON by default, therefore, `mysqlbinlog -v` + `mysql` to replay binlog is affected by this problem.

Workaround is "Not using -v with mysqlbinlog".

How to repeat:

```
$ docker run -d -e MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=1 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD="""" -e MYSQL_ROOT_HOST=""%"" --hostname=node1 --name=node1 container-registry.oracle.com/mysql/community-server:8.4.5

$ mysql -h node1 -uroot

CREATE DATABASE d1;
CREATE TABLE d1.t1 (num int PRIMARY KEY);
INSERT INTO d1.t1 VALUES (1);
CREATE TABLE d1.t2 AS SELECT * FROM d1.t1;

$ mysqlbinlog -v -R -h node1 -uroot binlog.000002 > /tmp/117530.txt

### Create new mysqld
$ docker run -d -e MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=1 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD="""" -e MYSQL_ROOT_HOST=""%"" --hostname=node2 --name=node2 container-registry.oracle.com/mysql/community-server:8.4.5

$ mysql -h node2 < /tmp/117530.txt
ERROR 3977 (HY000) at line 105: Only BINLOG INSERT, COMMIT and ROLLBACK statements are allowed after CREATE TABLE with START TRANSACTION statement.
