I agree with that, but there is no need to get on a big administrative hoopla making it sound like it's critical (it's very similar to the getId problem - which got resolved, but only in 2.5 -, the welcome file problem - which did not get officially resolved -, etc). This AFAIK has been implemented like that since at least 4.0, most likely because it is very similar to the servlet path and path info fields. The specification handles these encoding issues a bit randomly (especially when looking at the same methods in the request dispatcher) while it is fairly important.
