You could initialize the Auth_Storage_DB (or _MDB2) class yourself. This class accepts a DB (or MDB2) instance. And the Auth constructor does not only accept the name of a storage container (e.g. 'DB') but also an already initialized container object. Therefore:
- init DB/MDB2 yourself
- $db->query('SET NAMES ...');
- init Auth_Storage_(M)DB(2) with $db
- init Auth with this container object

(untested, but should work)
