MySQL 5.0.18 is only experimentally supported by MediaWiki, the production sites use MySQL 4.0.
MediaWiki works with MySQL 5.x without problems if you use the latin1 schema. I don't think this is the actual cause.
Jeff, are you saying that the page histories appear to be blank when accessed? If so, this *could* be a caching problem if the page_touched columns haven't been updated.
Could you run a quick statement such as UPDATE page SET page_touched = 20070226080700 and see if that cures the problem? Please also do a hard-reload when viewing one of these pages.
If I've interpreted what the problem is wrongly, then please clarify.
Thanks,
