Comment(by myrond):

 Every version of PHP I tried actually;  I think the bug is actually in
 lighttpd (I've tried all versions from 1.4.19-1.4.22)  I tried this on
 several pieces of hardware on gentoo/ubuntu and debian both stable and
 unstable and all of them exhibited this behavior.

 As soon as I disabled the rewrite rules _GET became populated, and
 everything started working.

 Thankfully I applied the fix I mentioned earlier and everything has gone
 smoothly for a long time.

 Rewrite rules currently applied as follows
 {{{
 url.rewrite-once = (
 "^/(wiki|wp-admin|wp-includes|wp-content|storage)/(.*)" => "$0",
 "^/wp-admin$" => "$0",
 "^/(sitemap\.xml|sitemap\.xml\.gz)" => "$0",
 "^/(.*\.php)" => "$0",
 "^/(.*)$" => "/index.php/$1"
 )
 }}}

 php versions that I am running that exhibit this bug with lighttpd (bug
 AGAIN I believe it is the interaction between lighttpd rewrite and the
 backend fastCGI process as bug goes away as soon as I disable the
 rewrites), this bug may exist in fastCGI with perl/python or other
 languages as well in its interaction with lighttpd's mod_rewrite.
