Description:
mysqldump --compatible=mysql40 still dumps data in the utf8 character set.

It would be most compatible if that switch forced mysqldump to add --skip-set-charset and --default-character-set=<default charset of server/database>.

How to repeat:
See description.

Suggested fix:
See description.
