important in this case is, that a different combination of software
packages, that are not in the scenario of upstreams philosophy,
are not supported and can lead to unexpected behavior. As always
recommended by any advisory: "Before applying this update, make sure
all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied."
Why EL5 is on MySQL 5.5 and EL6 on MySQL 5.1 is a different question (only
upstream can answer). I recommended to update your (client and server) systems
to the current supported state (5.11) with all relevant updates applied. This
includes the mentioned migration to mysql55-mysql. Our EL5 setup/service passes
this migration seamless. And then check your problem in this new environment ...
