Upgrade to MySQL 5.0

Dear MySQL users/developers,

After upgrading to MySQL 5.0 some php application (drupal CMS, see drupal.org) works a bit strange. All the content is in utf8 (russian) and is spread over different tables. Each table is managed by it's module and there is a DB abstraction layer.

I found a difference in a way clients (php application and mysql program) communicate the server. Namely character_set% variables!

mysql, which gives correct russian in utf8:
character_set_database and character_set_system are utf8, the rest are latin1.

php application with twice-encoded russian output:
everything is utf8! Isn't it correct?! Application sends data in utf8, MySQL server should not convert encodings and should operate on utf8 itself (character_set_connection and _server = utf8!) ?

Is there any explanations on character sets 'for dummies' (the MySQL manual confuses me)?

All the tables, database are "character set utf8"!
