This issue is still present in wget 1.141.  Thanks to the original submitter for the workaround suggestion.

I'm joining this issue. I think that behaviour should be consistent with no dependency on --restrict-file-names.
I think it compares link and file name and forgets about special characters. So not doing rewrite at all.
Because when it actually do rewriting of links it replaces special chars. For example with -E.

When I download some site with wget:
wget -r -k http:/mysite.com/
The wget generates file like this:
page.php?param1=value1&param2=value2
and changes links in file to appropriate. But browsers suppose the symbols after ? are GET-paramerter, but not a part of file.
If open file with ? in Firefox by open dialog, we will see %3F in address instead of ? Therefore, I believe that wget -k must change ? to %3F in html-code.
The workaround is using option --restrict-file-names=windows. Because ? is not acceptable filename character in this operating system, it will be changed to @ both in filenames and links.
