Comment (by michael.bucklin):

 Okay, so i think what is happening is that Wordpress is trying to make
 sure the front page is always redirected to "/". For example, if i had a
 page with the slug 'home', and i then set that page as the front page, i
 would want mysite.com/home/ to redirect to just mysite.com. The problem is
 that this redirect now appears to happen even if /home/ is not on the URL.
 This redirect is what is causing the URL parameters to change, as PHP sees
 all periods as underscores and can't re-add them in the original form.

 I think if this check was fixed so that the redirect only happens if
 /pageslug/ was in the URL, then this issue would go away.
