Comment (by pento):

 From a MySQL perspective, inefficient index use is the biggest concern.

 I also don't like the idea of just dropping the collation behaviour -
 while it causes incorrect results in this instance, dropping it is just as
 likely to cause other incorrect results. For example, using a generic
 english keyboard, I'd want to type "resume" and have it match "résumé",
 because typing accented characters is not fun.
