Hello Jörg!

This bug (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=876398)
seems to be due the fact that the mysqltest binary does not support
this option. It supports character_set but not default_character_set.

I don't know what the solution would be here. Maybe you can research
it yourself a bit more to at least map out what options we have, or if
upstream has any plans to update that binary to support such an
option?
