Description:
Doing "CREATE TABLE X LIKE Y" for an InnoDB table causes redundant errors in the error log.

How to repeat:
Run
create table tx1 (a int) type=innodb;
create table tx2 like tx1;

And see something like this appear in the error log:

InnoDB: Error: table test/tx2
InnoDB: does not exist in the InnoDB internal
InnoDB: data dictionary though MySQL is trying to drop it.
InnoDB: Have you copied the .frm file of the table to the
InnoDB: MySQL database directory from another database?
InnoDB: You can look for further help from section 15.1 of
InnoDB: http://www.innodb.com/ibman.html
