A possible fix would be adding a new line to the test_database_utf8() function:

code:

function test_database_utf8() {
if ( !db_is_mysql() ) {
return;
}

// table collation/character set check
$result = db_query_bound( 'SHOW TABLE STATUS' );
while( $row = db_fetch_array( $result ) ) {
  //this line drops out views
  if($row['Comment'] != 'VIEW' && $row['Comment'] != 'view' && $row['Engine'] != null){
      print_test_row( 'Checking Table Collation is utf8 for ' . $row['Name'] . '....', substr( $row['Collation'], 0, 5 ) === 'utf8_', $row['Collation'] );
    }
}

foreach( db_get_table_list() as $t_table ) {
    if( db_table_exists( $t_table ) ) {
        $result = db_query_bound( 'SHOW FULL FIELDS FROM ' . $t_table );
        while( $row = db_fetch_array( $result ) ) {
            if ( $row['Collation'] === null ) {
                continue;
            }
            print_test_row( 'Checking Non-null Column Collation in ' . $t_table . ' is utf8 for ' . $row['Field'] . '....', substr( $row['Collation'], 0, 5 ) === 'utf8_', $row['Collation'] . ' ( ' . $row['Type'] . ')' );
        }
    }
}

}
