Description:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-command-options.html#option_mysql_binary-mode

Does not list disabling the SOURCE command (in fact it refers to it), yet when using --binary-mode, we see;

$ ./bin/mysql -A -uroot -S./socket.sock -e"SOURCE /tmp/notexist.sql"
ERROR at line 1: Failed to open file '/tmp/notexist.sql', error: 2

$ ./bin/mysql -A -uroot -S./socket.sock --binary-mode -e"SOURCE /tmp/notexist.sql"
ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'SOURCE /tmp/notexist.sql' at line 1

How to repeat:
As per above

Suggested fix:
Enable using SOURCE command in combination with --binary-mode
