Comment (by jonoaldersonwp):

 Ah, that's... interesting! Hadn't realised that's core.

 I'm nervous about using interstitial redirects to remove parameters;
 that'll compound some other issues that we have. It also won't solve the
 underlying/root issue I'm trying to address, which is arbitrary+duplicate
 URLs being indexed with tracking parameters (compounded in turn due to a
 lack of canonical URL tags).

 Worth noting that this ticket -
 https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4331 - will address the underlying
 problem without having to fight with redirecting 'out' any legitimate
 query params.

 If that's still stalled, then, I'd be keen to proceed with the redirect
 approach as preferable to nothing!
