Same problem is occurring using latest MySQL 5.7.21 DMG installers, also for both, MAC OSX 10.12 and 10.13. Same steps to reproduce as those described here.

I couldn't repeat on High Sierra 10.13 (screen-shots attached).

Workaround from command line:

to stop: 
sudo launchctl unload -F /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.oracle.oss.mysql.mysqld.plist

to start:
sudo launchctl load -F /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.oracle.oss.mysql.mysqld.plist

What version are you using ?

Because I tried with mysql-advanced-5.6.39-macos10.13-x86_64.dmg and mysql-5.6.39-macos10.13-x86_64.dmg and bout installations are failing in 10.12 and 10.13

This issue is also present in the 8.0.4 package

We've replaced the broken DMG packages on our download site with ones that contain a working preference pane. Otherwise, the content is unchanged (no change to MySQL Server itself).
