I can't see it docummentioned in the documentation, but the code looks
like it only accepts integer expressions for ranges.

sql_yacc.yy, line 3939:

          else if (part_expr->result_type() != INT_RESULT &&
                   !part_expr->null_value)
          {
            yyerror(ER(ER_INCONSISTENT_TYPE_OF_FUNCTIONS_ERROR));
            YYABORT;
          }

In your case, changing your id column to a BIGINT type should work.
