Here's the output of vagrant up (after a vagrant destroy) of the box in question (vagrant provision results in the same error):

$ vagrant -v Vagrant 1.6.5
The cookbook is coming through the berks supermarket which gets me - https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/mysql.
I can provide more information if someone has a suggestion for what to add. My hope is that someone sees this and recognizes this issue and has an idea of what to look for.
Shyamalan-esque twist: My coworker is using the same Vagrant/Chef repo I am and can run vagrant up with no issues. We have the same version of Vagrant and Chef, and everything else should be managed through with the Berksfile/Vagrantfile (which live in the repo).
Your code relies on the mysql cookbook in a version < 6.0.
See the helper library in v5.6.1, where it resides in the Opscode::Mysql::Helpers namespace, versus helper library in v6.0.0 where it is in MysqlCookbook::Helpers.
I'm not sure, what your run list if you have your own top-level cookbook, but you can define version constraints in the depends part of metadata.rb (see docs).
