This bug in Field_string::cmp resulted in a wrong comparison 
with keys in partial indexes over multi-byte character fields.
Given field a is declared as 
  a varchar(16) collate utf8_unicode_ci
INDEX(a(4)) gives us an example of such an index.

Wrong key comparisons could lead to wrong result sets if 
the selected query execution plan used a range scan by 
a partial index over a utf8 character field.
This also caused wrong results in many other cases.

The bug report revealed two problems related to min/max optimization:
1. If the length of a constant key used in a SARGable condition for
for the MIN/MAX fields is greater than the length of the field an 
unwanted warning on key truncation is issued;
2. If MIN/MAX optimization is applied to a partial index, like INDEX(b(4))
than can lead to returning a wrong result set.

The IN() function uses agg_cmp_type() to aggregate all types of its arguments
to find out some common type for comparisons. In this particular case the 
char() and the int was aggregated to double because char() can contain values
like '1.5'. But all strings which do not start from a digit are converted to
0. thus 'a' and 'z' become equal. 
This behaviour is reasonable when all function arguments are constants. But 
when there is a field or an expression this can lead to false comparisons. In
this case it makes more sense to coerce constants to the type of the field
argument.

The agg_cmp_type() function now aggregates types of constant and non-constant
items separately. If some non-constant items will be found then their
aggregated type will be returned. Thus after the aggregation constants will be
coerced to the aggregated type.

  Added test case for bug#18360: Incorrect type coercion in IN() results in false comparison.

In multi-table delete a table for delete can't be used for selecting in
subselects. Appropriate error was raised but wasn't checked which leads to a
crash at the execution phase.

The mysql_execute_command() now checks for errors before executing select
for multi-delete.
