Django 'url' template tag incorrectly escapes the question mark

We recently upgraded from Django 1.9 to 1.10, and now the following problem appeared:

urls.py:

url(r'^search/(?:\?q=(?P<q>[^&]*))?$', views.search, {'q': ''}, name='search'),

Template:

<a href="{% url 'issues:search' "foobar" %}">Issues</a>

With Django 1.9, the result was

https://127.0.0.1/issues/search/?q=foobar

Since Django 1.10, this results in the following URL:

https://127.0.0.1/issues/search/%3Fq=foobar

As a result, links that contain query parameters do not work anymore. How can this be made to work with Django 1.10?

Django URL patterns do not include querystring parameters, and this is not new since 1.10 but has always been the case. You should not include it in the pattern, and add it separately in the link itself.

url(r'^search/$', views.search, name='search'),

...

<a href="{% url 'issues:search' %}?q=foobar">
