Comment (by bosconiandynamics):

 I can confirm observing the behavior in the provided links as described,
 with 301 redirects to the homepages with the `+` character in the
 querystring value replaced with it's URL-encoded equivalent, `%20`.

 I was additionally able to reproduce the behavior locally on trunk
 revision 50021 running on Apache with a host-file mapped domain. Setting
 the static homepage to the "Sample Page" and visiting the homepage with a
 `?test=test+test` querystring was sufficient. The behavior occured over
 HTTP and HTTPS, as well as regardless of being logged in or not.

 I could not reproduce the behavior using `@wordpress/env` 3.0.0 with the
 same trunk revision using the default `localhost:8888` URL mapping. I also
 did not witness the behavior after assigning a host-file mapped domain to
 the site and adjusting it's WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL constants appropriately
 (but still including the port in the host).
