Comment (by fabrizim):

 I think the issue occurs during the parse_vars in WP_Query. See the code
 here:

 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.8.1/src/wp-
 includes/query.php#L1655

 This test does not take into account custom endpoints, only  a hardcoded
 set of query args - any additional args result in a failing test. I think
 this should be expanded to include any user defined endpoints. I wrote a
 plugin for using a custom post type as the front page and during some
 development, added a filter to fix this, now endpoints can be used on a
 static front page. See the following for the specific function that I
 wrote. It would only be 2 lines of code to add to the core, but I don't
 know how to add a "pull request" in svn :/
