Description:
Tables whose name start with #sql_xxx are hidden from SHOW TABLES or INFORMATION_SCHEMA commands

This could also potentially block temporary tables from being created. 

A related bug is #12055

How to repeat:
CREATE TABLE `#sql_test` (a int);
SHOW TABLES;

Suggested fix:
Disallow users from createing, altering or at all accessing tables starting with #sql_

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments
to the original bug instead.

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.
