Description:
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=68015

"Noted in 5.6.17, 5.7.4 changelogs.

mysqlcheck did not correctly handle table names containing dots."

But I haven't found a commit in 5.6.16 to 5.6.17 delta that could be attributed to this fix.

How to repeat:
create table `t.1`(a int) engine=myisam;
--replace_result 'Table is already up to date' OK
--exec $MYSQL_CHECK --auto-repair --all-databases
drop table `t.1`;

...

t.1
Error    : Table 't.1' doesn't exist
status   : Operation failed

Repairing tables
t.1
Error    : Table 't.1' doesn't exist
status   : Operation failed

Suggested fix:
Update the bug status and release notes, track the lost fix.

Hello Laurynas,

Thank you for the bug report and test case.
Verified as described.

Thanks,
Umesh
