FWIW, I see the same thing -- shows failed but started just fine.

If you stop and start MySQL manually I find that it stops quickly but 
takes quite a while to start.  I presume from this that the timer or 
whatever that is determining the pass/fail is not waiting long enough to 
make a correct determination.  However I have no idea how to correct it.
