Comment:

I am closing this ticket because it is not specific to MySQL. FIDs are not treated like ordinary fields but how, it depends on drivers. A simple workaround in this case is to use "SELECT id as id, * from...".

Maybe ogrinfo and ogr2ogr could have a general "-expose_fid" option that would copy the FID field into a normal attribute. If FIDs are exposed then they can also be edited which is usually a bad idea but perhaps GDAL users know what they are doing.
