Comment (by dd32):

 I would argue the current behaviour is expected at present, and is very
 close to the before mentioned duplicates.

 Replying to [comment:3 johnjamesjacoby]:
 > This looks like a separate (and legitimate) bug to me. Setting a page as
 home should never result in the blog index appearing in its place.

 And the blog index isn't showing on the front page, The blog posts are
 showing on `/?foo=custom`, which is not the front page.

 WordPress currently has no differentiation between a query var "which
 affects the current page" and one which "modifies the query", it assumes
 that all query vars will modify the query, which results in `/?foo=custom`
 not being equal to`/?` just the same that `/?p=123` is not the same as
 `/?`.

 If we had some way of detecting "This query var will not affect the query"
 then showing the front page on `/?foo=custom` would be appropriate.
