Description

We already handle the "early" fixing of the default dates, but new mysqls will choke even on unrelated alters to the table if any zero dates are contained within. We'd need to replace any zero dates at the same time we're fixing the defaults.

Research direction

Start by locating the upgrade code that already fixes the default dates and inspect how the table alteration is performed for MySQL. Done means existing zero dates are replaced during that upgrade so unrelated table alters no longer fail on MySQL.
