Hello Rich!

Thanks for finding and reporting this issue!

Indeed, this is a bug in fill_alter_inplace_info() code.
This function incorrectly determines prefix keys as dropped
and then re-created by any ALTER TABLE. :(

I have reported a bug about it: http://bugs.mysql.com/65865.

Thanks once again!
