phpMyAdmin did not check for a dot in db, table or column name.

Hu, you're right. And there is a codding standard problem in the "PMA_checkReservedWords" function from the "common.lib.php3" script at line 1343: TRUE should be capitalized.

MySQL gave an error when creating the db, table.

Yep, that's why we don't check for these invalid characters: MySQL does it very well... except for some buggy versions!

MySQL accepted to create the column, and to delete it.

Yep because it's indeed a valid character for columns name.
