Comment (by espellcaste):

 I do have a buddypress setup on a vip, local, instance but can't replicate
 it. :/ I'm familiar with VIP Proton CDN. But maybe I'm missing some plugin
 to hook the CDN locally.

 My guess is that there are might be some code hooking into
 `bp_core_fetch_avatar_url` and changing the values to use query params
 instead. And our `esc_url` escaping is affecting that.

 Which would make sense why this has not been an issue until now.

 I'll create a patch. The change to `esc_url_raw` won't create an issue to
 everyone else.
