Looks like this may be somewhat of a duplicate of 782513. If you 'yum update systemd' the latest version (5.5.22) of MySQL seems to work fine.
(copying last comment from bug 782513) > But the thing is, we do not test nor encourage selective updates in Fedora. > Most packagers just assume you update all packages. This is a system where there was no update since it was installed, the problem occurred when I installed mysql. I only selectively updated systemd to see if it would fix the problem I was having. Keeping my system up to date also have avoided the problem but I would have thought installing mysql would update systemd if required.

Yes, this is most probably the same issue. Closing this for now, but feel free to reopen it if the problem persists even with the current systemd. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 782513 ***
