Comment (by mrmist):

 I'm not sure that that's actually a bug.  I mean, requesting
 index.php?''whatever'' is actually asking for the page index.php, which is
 (by default) present, and so (technically) not a 404, regardless of what
 query string you pass after the question mark.

 Passing ?p=''somenon-existantpostnumber'' as the query will get you a
 WordPress error that no posts match your query, though.

 So I guess what I'm saying is that it shouldn't be returning 404.  The
 current behaviour of showing the blog front page is pretty much correct,
 in my opinion.
