Description:
I have added

default-storage-engine=INNODB

into the [mysqld] section of my.ini/my.cnf (the same way I used to write it on a MySQL 5.0 server, where it works). Then, the server fails to start.

How to repeat:
Enter into my.ini/my.cnf

[mysqld]
default-storage-engine=INNODB

and try to start MySQL 5.1.

I should also mention that the MySQL 5.1 servers where I tried it (one on Windows and one on Linux) run on port 3307 and there's also a MySQL 5.0 server running (on port 3306).

Thank you for the bug report. Duplicate of bug:
