My reading of this is that you must give rewrite an explicit ? to mark
the query string, so a ? within a variable *is* part of $uri if it comes
before a ?. If you want to have your own query string, or to lose the
original query string during the rewrite, you must use an explicit ?.

? is a valid character in a normalised uri. ? is special in an escaped
uri, since it marks the query string. "rewrite" creates a normalised uri
(at least, when given variables to expand).

I'd say "expected", unless there's an example where "rewrite" does not
create a normalised uri.
