This is fixed with latest push of WL #3031. Use the new servers table. The URL format will not allow '@', but the servers table will. I will provide docs team with information on WL #3031 and how it is used.

The documentation has been updated with the CREATE SERVER syntax, which enables you to create a server connection that can include an @ sign in the password. There is also a note about this limitation and the workaround in the documentation for the FEDERATED engine.

Note that this occurs anytime you use a URL connection string, from ANY connector program and to ANY MySQL table type. In my case I was using the ADOdb library for PHP to connect to an MyISAM table. This isn't limited to just the Federated table type, but rather to the URL connection scheme in general. AFAIK there is no way to escape these "special" characters in any connector program.
