Sorry, column names changed. But I guess this should be no problem for you.

mysql> PREPARE x from "SELECT 'read' AS Action FROM friends UNION SELECT CASE
mysql> status WHEN 0 THEN 'request-received' WHEN 1 THEN 'confirmed' WHEN 2 THEN
mysql> 'x' END AS Action FROM friends";
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Statement prepared

mysql> execute x;
Field   1:  Action

Max_length: 16

99% sure: Server bug, not a client issue.

Please, report column type information retrieved on the MySQL prompt when preparing the statement
using SQL PREPARE and then executing it. Log in to the MySQL prompt using --column-type-info option
to see the meta data reported by the server.

Description:
------------
When I concatenate two queries with UNION an there are static strings in the queries, mysqli only
reserves a big enough variable for the strings in the first query.
If there are static strings in the other queries after the UNION, the strings are just cut off.

Test script:
---------------
$stmt = $this->mysqli->prepare("SELECT 'read' AS Action FROM tbl1
UNION
SELECT CASE status WHEN 0 THEN 'request-received' WHEN 1 THEN 'confirmed' WHEN 2
THEN 'x' END AS Action FROM tbl2");

$stmt->bind_result($action);
$stmt->execute();

while($stmt->fetch())
{
  echo $action . " ";
}

Expected result:
----------------
expected output is: read request-received confirmed

Actual result:
--------------
actual output is: read request-recei confirmed

The "request-received" is cut off!
