I only run one wiki, and the database has been "wikidb" since I first
installed it years ago. The definition of $wgDBname appears only once in
LocalSettings.php.
When I upgrade I always extract the tarball into a pristine new folder,
then copy over LocalSettings.php and my one extension. I use symlinks to
point to a common external image folder (which has worked better for me
than copying the image folder back and forth all the time) and for the
site's definition in Apache (i.e., Apache points to the symlink "wiki",
which then points to the currently active MediaWiki code base). When I run
update.php, I always use the raw path rather than the symlink so I know I'm
pointing to the right code.
My guess is that update.php or some script it depends on isn't honoring
$wgDBname. That said, I can't believe I'm the only person who's using a
custom DB name and thus the only person who is having this problem.

This may sound stupid, but are you sure that you are
mapping the update
script to the correct "LocalSettings.php" file? Perhaps you moved around
folders at some time. Another thing may be that you have the parameter
twice in your "LocalSettings.php" file and that one value overrides the
other. Apart from that, I do not know what could be the issue.

I have explicitly set in LocalSettings.php to
