So, which one is correct?

How to repeat:
drop function if exists `f1`;
create function `f1`() returns tinyblob return 1;
drop table if exists `t1`;
create table `t1`(`a` char(1)charset utf8)engine=myisam;
insert into `t1` values ('0'),('0');
select count(*) from `t1` group by `f1`(),`a`;

Here's another testcase using builtin functions:

drop table if exists t1;
create table t1(a blob not null)engine=innodb;
insert into t1 values (),();
set names utf8;
select count(*)
from t1 group by convert(`a`,char(1)),time_to_sec(`a`);

      Bug #52160: crash and inconsistent results when grouping
                  by a function and column
      
      Grouping by the TIME_TO_SEC function result may cause a
      server crash or wrong results.
      
      TIME_TO_SEC() returns NULL if its argument is invalid (empty
      string for example). Thus its nullability depends not only
      on the nullability of its arguments but also on their values.
      Fixed by (overoptimistically) setting TIME_TO_SEC() to be
      nullable despite the nullability of its arguments.

hi! original testcase in "how to repeat" didn't use time_to_sec function.
is there a fix for that too ?

Shane,

No :-)
It seems like you reported two different bugs in one bug page.

      Bug #52160: crash and inconsistent results when grouping
                  by a function and column
      
      The bugreport reveals two different bugs about grouping
      on a function:
      
      1) grouping by the TIME_TO_SEC function result caused
         a server crash or wrong results and
      2) grouping by the function returning a blob caused
         an unexpected "Duplicate entry" error and wrong
         result.
      
      Details for the 1st bug:
      
      TIME_TO_SEC() returns NULL if its argument is invalid (empty
      string for example). Thus its nullability depends not only
      on the nullability of its arguments but also on their values.
      Fixed by (overoptimistically) setting TIME_TO_SEC() to be
      nullable despite the nullability of its arguments.
      
      Details for the 2nd bug:
      
      The server is unable to create indices on blobs without
      explicit blob key part length. However, this fact was
      ignored for blob function result fields of GROUP BY
      intermediate tables.
      Fixed by disabling GROUP BY index creation for blob
      function result fields like regular blob fields.

Noted in 5.1.54, 5.5.8 changelogs.

Grouping by a TIME_TO_SEC() function result could cause a server
crash or incorrect results. Grouping by a function returning a BLOB
could cause an unexpected "Duplicate entry" error and incorrect
result.
