Description:
MySQL 6.0.3 on Windows installs accounts that have a Host value of production.mysql.com. These have nothing to do with the user's host and should not be installed.
How to repeat:
1) Install MySQL 6.0.3 using the installation wizard.
2) Decline the offer near the end of the installation process to configure the server, to leave the grant tables in their unaltered installation state.
3) Check which accounts were installed:
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 6.0\bin>mysql -uroot mysql
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1
Server version: 6.0.3-alpha-community-log MySQL Community Serve
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

Note that there are two accounts for connecting from production.mysql.com. Users will not want these accounts, and might even conclude that we are installing "back door" accounts to allow connections from production to their server.
6.0.2 installed only the root@production.mysql.com account, but that shouldn't have been installed, either.
5.0.45 installed root@production account.
