The issue of distinguishing between query-originating parameters and
form-originating parameters has been around for a very long time, and
in my own work, especially where the cgi module has been used, I've
been careful to distinguish between the two types and to merge them
only if this is desired.

See these messages for historical context around this issue:

Here's an old reference to the code which was changed in the cgi module:

To summarise, a previous patch for this issue was never submitted
because of the risk of breaking existing code.
