It appears that Apache rejects URIs with %2F in the path component:
http://www.apacheweek.com/issues/02-11-08

(Wouldn't a 400 'Bad Request' be a better return code than 404 'Not
Found'? Bah.)

I've tweaked SpecialAsksql to use the same function everything else does
to generate local page URLs, so it should put out clickable urls now.
While I was in there, I also fixed it to use the namespace if the query
results include a namespace field.

Well, as I see it, Apache thought he's doing the right thing, to convert /
to %2F. Than he looked for the File and did not found it -- 404. And, the
given URI was not bad. Only Apache has a bug in it's handling. No Reason
for a 400.

Thank you for fixing it so quick.
