Replying to myself here:
It indeed was a problem with the newlines - who would have thought, that
using phpMyAdmin in Firefox on linux would create \r\n line-endings when
inserting data. I should stick to the mysql shell, like i do with psql...
Anyway, problem solved. But i wont make the feature available for my
users until there's a way to pass syntax errors to them.
