Comment:

 @bigevilbrain Thanks for the ticket, and welcome to WordPress Trac!

 Very strange - I have seen this action before, but never noticed the way
 it concatenated query fragments. The hook was introduced in [5916] #4799
 and hasn't been touched since. I don't see any meaningful use of it on
 GitHub, and while I haven't done a proper search of the plugin repo, I'd
 be quite surprised if anyone's done anything meaningful with it there
 either.

 That said, it's harmless. And changing the data passed to the action could
 potentially break someone who *is* managing to use it in the right way. So
 I think we should probably leave it as is.
