1. This could've been simply INSERT IGNORE, I suspect

Nope, the idea is do not insert more than needed.

Why would INSERT IGNORE insert more than needed?

2. why access:512 ? It's FILE_ACL, iirc.

Because LOAD used in tests and so in reality probably, so we need FILE_ACL

We need FILE_ACL, but why mariadb.sys account needs it? mysql.user is a read-only view of the mysql.global_priv table, its owner doesn't need FILE or INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE. Regards, Sergei VP of MariaDB Server Engineering and security@mariadb.org
