Description:
In this document:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/upgrading-from-previous-series.html

we can see this section:
"Incompatible change: As of MySQL 5.5.6, handling of CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... SELECT statements has been changed for the case that the destination table already exists:(...)"

and

"When trying replicate any CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE statement containing TIMESTAMP(N) from a master MySQL server that supports the TIMESTAMP(N) syntax to a MySQL 5.5.3 or newer slave, the statement causes replication to fail.(...)"

which apply to 5.1 -> 5.5 migration, while this document describes 5.0 -> 5.1 one.

How to repeat:
Look for "5.5" references in this document.

Suggested fix:
Remove mentioned section from the "2.13.1.1 Upgrading from MySQL 5.0 to 5.1" documentation page.

Removed the problematic items from the list of issues; these items were not present in the 5.0 version.
