I don't like the fix for this bug. The problem is that now incremental backups take 64 KB more per _every_ table, even if it has not been modified. We have customers with 100,000+ tables (see bug #950334). A simple calculation shows their incremental backups would now take 6+ GB more, even if there have been absolutely no data updates.

I think the fix should be re-implemented to properly initialize the 1st page when a new tablespace has to be created on prepare. It's quite easy to do, we can reuse the code from fil_create_new_single_table_tablespace().
