MYSQL Autoincrement reset after executing alter statement (mysql 5.0.92)

mysql> describe phppos_sales_suspended;

After executing the below on an EMPTY table the primary key seems to be reset back to 1. Why is that? I thought that wasn't possible. This doesn't happen in mysql 5.1.54

ALTER TABLE  `phppos_sales_suspended` ADD  `deleted` INT( 1 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT  '0',
ADD INDEX (  `deleted` );

mysql> describe phppos_sales_suspended;

Adding an index to an InnoDB table rebuilds the table. Not inheriting the old autoincrement value was a bug that's been fixed in your newer version.
