In rpl_slave_state::record_gtid(), there is this to prevent replicating
updates of the mysql.rpl_slave_state table:

  table->no_replicate= 1;

Other than that, I do not know of any special handling needed for the mysql
database. Did you have something special in mind?

Note that the user should not update mysql.rpl_slave_state manually. Except
perhaps to ALTER TABLE ... ENGINE=xxx (which can be replicated). To change the
GTID position, use SET GLOBAL gtid_pos='0-1-10', which will update
mysql.rpl_slave_state as needed.

BTW, yesterday I merged GTID into lp:maria/10.0, so now the code is in the
main tree and will be included in the next 10.0.2 alpha release.
