A little messy. Yeah. 

BTW, this bug does not exist in mysql5.6

mysql5.6> select  CONCAT("h",  LOWER( SUBSTR( REPEAT( TRIM( SUBSTR( SUBSTR( DATE_FORMAT( COALESCE( CONCAT( CAST( 2015 + 4      + 2 AS CHAR(20) ) , '-06-15 01:00:00.000003') , CONCAT( CAST( 2015 + 2 + 2 AS CHAR(20) )     , '-06-15 01:00:00.000003') , CONCAT( CAST( 2015 + 3 + 1 AS CHAR(20) ) , '-06-19 01:00:00.000003') ) , CONCAT( '%l' , '%i' ) ) , 2 ) , 1 , 20      ) ) , 7 + 1 ) , 6 ) ) ) ;
Field   1:  `CONCAT("h",  LOWER( SUBSTR( REPEAT( TRIM( SUBSTR( SUBSTR( DATE_FORMAT( COALESCE( CONCAT( CAST( 2015 + 4      + 2 AS CHAR(20) ) , '-06-15 01:00:00.000003') , CONCAT( CAST( 2015 + 2 + 2 AS CHAR(20) )     , '-06-15 01:00:00.000003') , CONCAT( CAST( 2015 + 3 +`

How to repeat:
select  CONCAT("h",  LOWER( SUBSTR( REPEAT( TRIM( SUBSTR( SUBSTR( DATE_FORMAT( COALESCE( CONCAT( CAST( 2015 + 4      + 2 AS CHAR(20) ) , '-06-15 01:00:00.000003') , CONCAT( CAST( 2015 + 2 + 2 AS CHAR(20) )     , '-06-15 01:00:00.000003') , CONCAT( CAST( 2015 + 3 + 1 AS CHAR(20) ) , '-06-19 01:00:00.000003') ) , CONCAT( '%l' , '%i' ) ) , 2 ) , 1 , 20      ) ) , 7 + 1 ) , 6 ) ) ) ;

Suggested fix:
h00000000000 rather than h00000 00000 is returned
