Unlikely. Most of the changes from 5.1.46 to 5.1.51 concerned the InnoDB plugin and replication. You will have to study those entries (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/news-5-1-x.html) to see if they're relevant.

More likely causes of the problems would be server settings, dump file parameters and database differences.

Dunno.

ie the dump file contains rows that exist in the target DB.

That requires a synchronising mechanism or tool. Not trivial. Simpler to use replication or drop and dump.

There is not a simple command for that. Write a MySQL stored procedure or a function in your app language.
