Description:
ENUM values are incorrectly converted when the
column character set differ from SET NAMES.

How to repeat:
mysql> set names latin1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> create table t1 (a enum('й','ц','у') character set utf8 default 'й');   Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> show create table t1;

CREATE TABLE `t1` (
  `a` enum('?','?','?') character set utf8 default ''
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 

Suggested fix:
The values should be converted into the column character set.
