 Replying to [comment:6 leecollings]:
 > I have to say I'm absolutely shocked that I've only discovered this
 issue, and that someone reported it (with a solution) over a year ago. And
 it still hasn't been fixed in WordPress yet.

 There is no easy way to "fix" this in WordPress. Google decided on a path
 that is fundamentally incompatible with how the rest of the world uses
 query variables and thus PHP itself, which WordPress is built atop of,
 doesn't much like it. They didn't used to do this. No idea why Google
 changed how their Fonts work in this way.

 The workaround is to use "null" for the version parameter when using
 wp_enqueue_style on Google Fonts, and this is an acceptable workaround
 since you shouldn't be versioning external style libraries anyway.

 In other words, there is no "urgency" here. There is a rather simple
 workaround, and the problem itself is not in WordPress's code.
