Basically, from what I understand

c: gemini://example.com/?querystring
s: 30 /movedhere
c (redirecting): gemini://example.com/movedhere?querystring

is now explicitly forbidden. The client should drop the query string
following the redirect and use the redirect URL directly:

c: gemini://example.com/?querystring
s: 30 /movedhere
c (redirecting): gemini://example.com/movedhere

The query string can still carry over, but it's up to the server, which
has to be explicit about it:

c: gemini://example.com/?querystring
s: 30 /movedhere?querystring
c (redirecting): gemini://example.com/movedhere?querystring
