I have traced the issue back to the bot tables, but not sure where to go from there with it.
Currently it seems that one cannot use mysqldump to backup a bot enabled server, and expect to be able to restore that backup. It always fails with the following error:
ERROR 1305 (42000) at line 4923: FUNCTION eqtest.GetMobTypeByName does not exist
