Description:
Even specifying the name of the default schema to use within a connection, Workbench issues the "SHOW DATABASES" command resulting in an 1227 error and unabling access to the database.

Actual options:
DbSqlEditor:LastDefaultSchema=530484mobilex
lastConnected=1404983298
serverVersion=5.0.95-log

How to repeat:
This issue accurs anytime an user tries to access a remote database for which he/she hasn't the SHOW DATABASES privilege

Suggested fix:
Let users define a SINGLE database to access not sending the SHOW DATABASE command

Issue persists in MySQL workbench 6.2.4.12437. The Reverse Engineer function _is_ able to fetch schemas, however.
