I can confirm this in Lucid amd64.

Apparently, we have different versions of mysql-server-core and mysql-common (wtf?) for amd64 and i386, and version dependencies for other packages of the complete mysql-server installation do not match for the amd64 versions.

see the errors reported by apt below:

root@deckard:~# apt-get install mysql-server
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

This should now be fixed, there was a minor hiccup with the building of 3ubuntu8, which has now been resolved and superseded.
