I can confirm this bug on my Dell Mini 9 with regular Ubuntu 8.04 installation from dell-mini.archive.canonical.com.
I could purge the package mysql-server-5.0 and reinstall it by adding the line
INITOUTPUT=no
to /etc/default/rcS
But the server only runs without (notified) errors when replacing any log message calls (for example: log_daemon_msg "Starting MySQL database server" "mysqld") in /etc/init.d/mysql after the line
case $1 in
with the value "true". This seems to me a bad work around, since it only keeps the mysql-server from telling you about its problems...
