This is a problem in MySQL 4.1.x only, which is alpha at the moment, while it doesn't seem to be a problem in MySQL 4.0.x, currently in production.
This can be fixed changing the field name as suggested by Ax, or using double quotes.

I lower the priority and wait for some feedback on the best way to fix (renaming or double quotes)

I assume that using double quotes is a MySQL-ism and not ANSI SQL?

Double quotes is ANSI, but works in MySQL only in ANSI Mode. In standard mode you must use backticks, which is not ANSI.
So it seems table renaming is the only portable solution.

I think this has been fixed:
al@drupal:~/drupal/drupal> grep types database/database.mysql
Can someone please confirm and CLOSE this?
