This definitely looks like a regression. Can you file a bug for this please ?
If you do, please add a trace file [1] from a failed attempt. The best way to 
do so is this:
- first remove all existing trace files (or move them aside)
- start gnucash (2.6.17)
- try to save to mysql, which will fail
- quit gnucash
- obtain the single trace file now found in the temporary directory
- create a bug [2] and attach the trace file

Thanks,
Geert
