They should be. They are a part of the url. Post-variables are not.
Get-variables are.

What excactly DOES the offending pages receive as url (after the rewrite)?
You can find such info in:
$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]
or
$_SERVER["URL"]

What do they contain?

AFAIK, PHP doesn't care nor know if apache did rewriting, so this is a
strange problem indeed.
