We found a similar issue because we were using persistent connection in
php and had a firewall between the mysql and the webserver. The problem
is that our persistent connection were setup for lasting up to something
like 8 hours but the firewall was keeping state of the connection only
for up to 1 hour when no data was transferred. After the firewall had
flushed the state of the connection and that the webserver were trying
to communicate through it, he was reporting "Lost connection to mysql
server during query"

We adjust the setting of the persistent connection to 45 mins and the
problem went away.

This don't have anything to do with the version, but that was with 4.1 :)
