Description:
When using the migration toolkit to migrate from 4.1 to 5.0, any data in a TINYINT(1) column seems to become lost.  The generated inserts do not contain any data for the column, only a zero length string ("").

The migration toolkit reports these errors in the final report:

      `lep`.`lep_lbs_interfaces`
      --------------------------
          Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'active' at row 1
          4 row(s) transfered.

Column 'active' is a TINYINT(1) column.

How to repeat:
Create a test table:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `test`.`testtable`;
CREATE TABLE `testtable` (
  `uid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `testtinyint` tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`uid`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

Populate with random data, then when the migration toolkit runs and I have it generate code instead of doing it live, the inserts look like:

INSERT INTO `test`.`testtable`(`uid`, `testtinyint`)
VALUES (1, ""),
  (2, ""),
  (3, "");

Using mysqldump seems to generate the correct code.
