Did you run the database update script after restoring the database? I don't have the full history this thread in front of me, but I believe you said you also updated Mediawiki at the same time as migrating your database.

That was it!
I was coming through the upgrading manual and reached adapting LocalSettings file, then got apache2 working with my path when I saw this error. The next section was this "Run the update script". As I put in the subject I was blindly believing it was a database conversion problem and never thought about the new php environment was causing this database error.
I've learned something new today.
Thank you for your help.
