Not a bug, but it's a confusing scenario that happens often. Check to see
if you have any anonymous-user entries in the user table (entries with
the empty string in the user column: SELECT * FROM user WHERE user = '').
If do, delete them and FLUSH PRIVILEGES.
If you have my book, this is explained in "A Privilege Puzzle, Part I",
page 429, and "A Privilege Puzzle, Part II", pages 464-465.
