That's not quite correct.  Actually, arg_separator.output is available
as of PHP 4.0.5, but http_build_query() has been introduced in PHP 5.0.0
only, and the function used the ini setting from the beginning.  So
there has not been a BC break here.

Furthermore, http_build_query()'s behavior is not unpredictable, but it
rather depends on a PHP_INI_ALL ini setting (unless the $arg_separator
argument is set).  A portable software is supposed to either set
$arg_separator or arg_separator.output when using http_build_query() (or
at the very least to document the issue).

So I suggest that you file a ticket for the software that doesn't do so.
