When we have had problems it was easier to dump database to sql statements, drop database, recreate with media wiki setup with all correct settings and restore the data without drop table instructions.
This worked for us in the past anyway.

Found. The problem is in the database. For some reason they have decided the table searchindex should have a collation using latin1 :-(. So I repeat my second question:
- In the medium term, and with the background above, which
is the best approach to have a "correct" database and system again.
