Well, it's not a bug because it's not empty:

$ cat main.cpp
#include <QUrl>
#include <QDebug>

int main()
{
    QUrl ServerURL("http://studien.hiper-campus.de/?q=services/xmlrpc");
    qDebug() << ServerURL.path();
}
$ ./qurl
"/"

I've tested that same program with Qt 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6. All of them have 
the exact same behaviour.

The decomposition of that URL is:
scheme = "http"
username = null
password = null
  -> userinfo = null
host = "studien.hiper-campus.de"
port = -1
  -> authority = "studien.hiper-campus.de"
path = "/"
fragment = null
query = "q=services/xmlrpc"

Note that QUrl makes a slight distinction between empty and null. For example, 
if the fragment were "" (empty but not null), the URL would be reconstructed 
as:
	http://studien.hiper-campus.de/#?q=services/xmlrpc
