I will of course fix the broken test cases either way (and have just started). I just don't see what you're trying to accomplish by removing this patch that is not the cause of those errors.
The regression.732849 fail is also a drizzledump "SET NAMES utf8" bug. I'll look into the mysql_protocol and drizzle_client tests but I'm sure it's a similar bug for them.
