I was trying to upgrade an Wordpress with special settings for database 
collation and… and… what a mess!

First the upgrader warned about wrong values in DB_CHARSET and 
DB_COLLATE, then couldn't upgrade any table and then said it was ready. 
I guess he only altered the version, because all the tables were with 
the old schema names.

My values for collation in wp_config was:
> define('DB_CHARSET', 'latin1');
> define('DB_COLLATE', 'utf8');
I had to roll back my database, remove these values and try again to suceed:
> define('DB_CHARSET', '');
> define('DB_COLLATE', '');
Then it worked.
