Ah, I'll bet this bind-address setting is what's doing it --- if that
address weren't configured yet, it'd be unsurprising that mysqld would
fail to start.  (The comparable case I tested in postgresql was to set
listen_addresses = 'full.name.of.host', which failed due to DNS not
working yet.  But now that I look at this example, I bet setting
listen_addresses to a numeric IP would have the same issue as your
mysql example.)

Thanks for the followup.
