Alas, I can not afford to downgrade MySQL nor find an additional operating system. Instead, I have installed Koha version 3.16.01 on a machine with MySQL 5.1. Tomorrow I will dump the initialized database and import it into MySQL on a different machine where I plan to run Koha for “real". Wish me luck. I’m making progress.

And, I will file a bug report.
