Why are you running upgrade.php? It should be install.php if you're installing a new forum.
I am only going on GitHub and looking at the code btw, I didn't write this software just trying to assist.

As far as I can see the installer runs and then goes straight on to upgrade.php - it does seem odd that the latest version requires an immediate upgrade and I suspect this is root of the problem, and nothing to do with db privileges or even php versions! I'm playing with setting up a clean install on a D8 droplet at digital ocean. If that hits the same issues we're in trouble. But if I get a clean install there then I'll use that to try and figure out what's different about our container environment! Very many thanks for your help - you've got me on the right track I hope...

Ok, I was curious and tries a fresh install, I can confirm I get the same error as you do.
I'll get back to you with the fix!

It's the ALTER command itself which is failing.

Can you replace your upgrade.php with the attached please?

The bug open at github if I understand it correctly is about upgrade.php, but if you delete the install directory you delete every thing including upgrade.php.
Unless I misunderstood the report.

The test is on the directory, so it is not a bug per se, but the intended behaviour. We can discuss is there is a more appropriate.
The query is indeed a bug.
