As there were no objections upstream, I have pushed a commit dropping innotop, which will appear in Zesty or the following release.

Consequently I don't think it makes sense to fix this in Xenial, as it has never worked in Xenial and will disappear in future releases anyway.

The workaround is to download and install it manually directly from upstream.

So the status of this bug for now is somewhere between Won't Fix and Invalid. You are correct that it is broken, but the consensus has been to stop maintaining it in MySQL packaging as it isn't part of MySQL itself anyway.
