 Yes, this works, but it doesn't fix the problem. Suppose one wants to
 implement a form that queries multiple post types:

 {{{
 <form method="get" action="">
   <input type="checkbox" name="post_type[]" value="post_type_1">
   <input type="checkbox" name="post_type[]" value="post_type_2">

 ...
 </form>
 }}}

 The resulting URL will be
 {{{post_type[]=post_type_1&post_type[]=post_type_2}}}, which is a
 perfectly reasonoable way to send query variables.

 Because of the current bug, you would have to add further code (either
 JavaScript or a 'request' hook) to transform it into
 'post_type=post_type_1,post_type_2', which is a waste.

 Still, since this is something that can be worked around and doesn't
 affect any part in Core, I think it's severity is 'normal'.
