 If for example links come up with GET parameters, for example utm
 parameters for analytics, they get stripped before the redirect.

 post_name = 'new-slug'
 _wp_old_slug = 'old-slug'

 http://example.org/old-
 slug/?utm_source=test1&utm_medium=test2&utm_campaign=test3

 Wordpress will build the link for the redirect to the new slug without any
 GET parameter:

 http://example.org/new-slug/

 I think it should mantein them instead:

 http://example.org/new-
 slug/?utm_source=test1&utm_medium=test2&utm_campaign=test3

 I'm not even sure if this should be classified as a bug, if it's the
 correct behaviour or not. I'll let you judge.
