   After digging a bit, I found the following function in wp-includes/class-wpdb.php

   	public function check_database_version() {
   		global $wp_version, $required_mysql_version;
   		// Make sure the server has the required MySQL version.
   		if ( version_compare( $this->db_version(), $required_mysql_version, '<' ) ) {
   			/* translators: 1: WordPress version number, 2: Minimum required MySQL version number. */
   			return new WP_Error( 'database_version', sprintf( __( '<strong>Error:</strong> WordPress %1$s requires MySQL %2$s or higher' ), $wp_version, $required_mysql_version ) );
   		}
   	}

   Changing it so that it just returns true seems to solve the problem.

   	public function check_database_version() {
   		global $wp_version, $required_mysql_version;
   		// Make sure the server has the required MySQL version.
   		if ( version_compare( $this->db_version(), $required_mysql_version, '<' ) ) {
   			/* translators: 1: WordPress version number, 2: Minimum required MySQL version number. */
   			/* return new WP_Error( 'database_version', sprintf( __( '<strong>Error:</strong> WordPress %1$s requires MySQL %2$s or higher' ), $wp_version, $required_mysql_version ) ); */
   			return true;
   		}
   	}
