Comment(by myrond):

 I never said it was a bug in wordpress, the bug is in PHP/lighttpd, but
 there is a simple fix to work around it in wordpress:

 if (strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'lighttpd') !== false)
 {
 $_lighty_url = $base_url.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
 $_lighty_url = @parse_url($_lighty_url);
 $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] = $_lighty_url['query'];
 parse_str($_lighty_url['query'], $_lighty_query);
 foreach ($_lighty_query as $key => $val)
 $_GET[$key] = $_REQUEST[$key] = $val;
 }

 apply that to wordpress and it fixes the problem.  I was hoping more than
 anything if other people run into this problem google will pick it up and
 they will be redirected to a workaround which can be applied to wordpress.

 Hopefully someday lighttpd/php will be patched and it will work.  If this
 was applied to wordpress core that is fine too.
