I'm less worried about uglifying URLs, and more about the 404 stuff that a few other people have posted about now. It never occurred to me that there'd be more than an extremely minimal number of sites that would error out when receiving extra query params.

That's a new one for me, I need to make sure I remember it in the future. From what I'm seeing online, it's not even necessarily considered bad practice, so... I dunno anymore.

But agreed, Facebook should back this out.

Try going to a Pizzeria and say "Pizza Margherita, with extra Zejeako please". Should they just give you a Pizza Margherita because they don't know what Zejeako is? Or should they tell you they can't do it?

They won't. They knew what would happen and did it anyway.
