Description:
Under the new MTR, the following command

MTR_VERSION=1 perl mysql-test-run.pl --start-and-exit rpl_alter

does not start the server. The error log reports:

/build/bzr/5.1-rpl/sql/mysqld: Too many arguments (first extra is 'binlog-format=row').
Use --verbose --help to get a list of available options
081112  0:40:16 [ERROR] Aborting

This functionality is used in the Random Query Generator and in the rpl_sys SystemQA tests, possibly in other places as well, such as the upgrade/downgrade test with replication and the SystemQA backup/restore framework.

How to repeat:
in 5.1-rpl 

MTR_VERSION=1 perl mysql-test-run.pl --start-and-exit rpl_alter

Suggested fix:
Please either fix this or provide an alternative way to start a master and a slave via --start-and-exit. The actual setting of the binary log format and the CHANGE MASTER will be executed on our side afterwards.
