What steps will reproduce the problem?

1.  When running "select * from db\G" you will notice on a default installation 
there are two blank user entries:
*************************** 1. row ***************************
                 Host: %
                   Db: test
                 User: 
*************************** 2. row ***************************
                 Host: %
                   Db: test\_%
                 User: 

2.  lets say I have two users with two different databases that start with 
"test_".  Both users will be able to see the others database with these 
defaults in place.

3.  Here is the test:
-- as root
create database test_user1;
create database test_user2;
grant select on `test_user1`.* to 'user1'@'localhost';
grant select on `test_user2`.* to 'user2'@'localhost'; 

-- as user1
mysql -uuser1
