There was a behaviour change, indeed. I fixed some problems with our 
understanding of the URI specification.

In specific, this paragraph from RFC 3986:

       URIs that differ in the replacement of a reserved character with
       its corresponding percent-encoded octet are not equivalent.

Qt 5.0 and 5.1 got it wrong. Qt 4 was mostly right. Qt 3 was completely 
broken.
