Comment (by here):

 In my opinion, having a query_posts() function that is consistent with the
 expected WP_Query Parameters is worth it going forward.

 The only "breaking" change would be code that uses both `paged` and
 `offset`, which is *currently* broken, due to this bug.  Further, anyone
 working with query_posts today with be confounded by this unexpected and
 undocumented bug.  As far as I know, this is the only example of WP_Query
 Parameters not working with query_posts().  This still seems worth fixing.

 Since query_posts() silently ignores `paged` if `offset` is used -- I
 wonder how you would have code that would break.  If you had previously
 coded something to work around this, you would have had to choose one or
 the other, not both.  As such, most workarounds will continue to work
 after this patch.  Can you give a more specific example of where you
 expect this patch to break something in your own code ?

 Surely there are a number of folks who have used `paged` and `offset`
 together, and never noticed that `paged` was being ignored.  This code
 might break -- but such code is *already* acting in a way inconsistent
 with expected function action (`paged` is ignored).  Again, seems worth
 fixing for past and future.
