 Replying to [comment:6 kpdesign]:
 > A new Codex page has been added
 ([http://codex.wordpress.org/Reserved_Terms Reserved Terms]) to address
 this issue.

 I don't know how do you think that adding documentation addresses the
 issue.

 It is 4 years after the above comment, and I have just wasted almost a day
 because of this issue.

 If some parameters are illegal then the error should say "illegal
 parameter 'parms' sent to page, see list of illegal params here: <link>"
 and not return a 404 error !!!!
