Installation on MySQL 5.1 seems to not work. I followed along with catch in IRC while we both went through the installation process, and his worked while mine failed. The most obvious difference that we could find between our systems was that he was running MySQL 5.0 (Ubuntu) and I was running MySQL 5.1 (MacPorts).

The exact error is: "Failed to connect to your MySQL database server. MySQL reports the following message: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Invalid argument." - though "exact" is perhaps the wrong word seeing as how vague that is.

Has anyone else been able to successfully install on MySQL 5.1 recently? Or is it just me?

This may be related to #671366: Installer is broken. MySQL as a whole seems rather surprisingly broken in D7 at the moment, which is making working on other important issues (#493770: Search incorrectly splits some katakana words) before the alpha rather difficult.

PEBCAK. pdo_mysql.default_socket was set incorrectly in my php.ini file.

Well, it will depend on where in the filesystem your MySQL daemon is creating the socket.
