Yes. Variable $request_uri contains args, while rewrite without
trailing '?' will add args.

Classic "redirect everything" example contains '?'. See e.g.
here:

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/converting_rewrite_rules.html

: server {
: listen 80;
: server_name nginx.org;
: rewrite ^ http://www.nginx.org$request_uri?;
: }

rewrite is expected to preserve original args in all cases (either
preserve as is, or append if you added other arguments) unless you
specified trailing '?'.
