This is a reasonably common problem, and it usually comes down to a
problem with ReWrite rules in the apache config. (Oh, and btw even the
first, 1.4, link you give fails for me). I also know that there are
some differences in the way different PHP handlers deal with URLs -
some of them mangle up "?"s or "&"s or something and require a special
workaround.

Sorry, this isn't very clear, and I may be barking up the wrong tree
anyway, but perhaps have a look in the archives (use Google/Yahoo/etc
with "site:mail.wikipedia.org" in the query) for people describing
similar problems.
