Webform.newUnvalidatedRequest question

In order to mimic a javascript-driven change to a hidden form parameter, 
I am using WebForm.newUnvalidatedRequest().  My problem is that the form 
action string includes a query string, which the server will see as 
parameters (the form is a POST).  The query string does not get passed 
over to the new WebRequest, I need to do it by hand:

	private WebRequest newUnvalidatedRequest( WebForm f ) {
		WebRequest result = f.newUnvalidatedRequest();
		String[] sa = f.getParameterNames();
		for( int i = 0; i < sa.length; i++ ) {
			String key = sa[i];
			String[] values = f.getParameterValues( key );
			result.setParameter( key, values );
		}
		return result;
	}


Is the observed behaviour of Webform.newUnvalidatedRequest a bug or 
feature?  If the web request is to be mimicing the form, then should its 
submission not mimic the submission of the form?  The server would see 
different parameters lists for the two submissions,  unless I append the 
parameters to the WebRequest as above??

Any help appreciated.
