Could very well be. MySQL is case sensitive where you don't expect it, and
case insensitive where you don't expect it either... :)

My conclusion - after all this - is that this is not a FPC error, but a
configuration problem on your machine. How to debug this is described on:

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/problems-connecting.html

What I can do from the FPC side is to attempt to get a more 
informative/detailed connection error code from the MYSQL server.
