The problem appeared because the same values produced different hash
during INSERT and SELECT for VARCHAR data type.
Fix:
VARCHAR required special treatment to avoid hashing of length bytes
(leftmost one or two bytes) as well as trailing bytes beyond real length,
which could contain garbage. Fix is done by introducing hash() - new method
in the Field class.

Mark columns for write before executinf of set_key_image().
Thanks for Mikael for suggesting this fix.
