I am adding this as a minor support request and closing it immediately because it isn't clear that it is a bug and the solution is quite simple.

I found that enabling this module gives me some trouble with default MySQL installations for Drupal 6 and 7.

This is a telling part of the error that was thrown on a Drupal 7 site. The Drupal 6 error was similar.

WD php: PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1436 Thread stack overrun:  
10208 bytes used of a 131072 byte stack, and 128000 bytes needed.  Use
'mysqld -O thread_stack=#' to specify a bigger stack.: UPDATE {variable} SET value=:db_update_placeholder_0

The solution is simple: Edit the my.cnf file, change the thread_stack value to 256 and restart MySQL.

I ran into the same problem and did some investigation: apparently some versions of mysql have problems with the setting in my.cnf, so the easy solution is to comment out the line.

I tried changing this to 256 and 512, neither worked.

Please add this to the project page and/or readme

Subscribe. Yep, definitely needs a doc update.

Agreed. I destroyed the evidence before I could figure out what it was, though.
