Can you provide any more info about your MySQL server? I'm just reading this web page and it suggests it's only seen on Windows MySQL servers: http://stackoverflow.com/a/4553664/146925

Looks like TEXT fields cannot have default values:

Hi,
our DBA just figured out what it is. When STRICT mode is enabled, it won't allow the migration job to set a default on that column (possibly because there is already data in there). A way to get around this is to temporarily change the DB back to "traditional".
