Comment:

 It seems that since we run `parse_str` when the value is submitted as a
 string (as opposed to an array), the `+` sign is omitted as a space, using
 the URL Encoded variant of it `%2B` produces the expected result, as does
 providing the WP_Query arguments as an array `new WP_Query( array(
 'category_name' => 'facebook+uncategorized' ) );`

 Since this is the behavior of `parse_str`, a native PHP function, I'm
 going to suggest this isn't something we can (or should be) messing with
 as it might break expected backwards compatibility for other existing
 implementations
