Well, the server is right: the URL is sent verbatim, with the special
chars encoded, which makes the server look for an object named
  /?l=fop-dev&m=103890259919360&w=2
rather than for the object
  /
with the parameters
  l=fop-dev
  m=103890259919360
  w=2
passed.

An artefact of the error message generator, I would think.

Weird, but probably "works as designed."

Something is wrong with the XSLT processor's serializer. The usual
drill
- Check JDK version, upgrade if necessary
- Install latest Xalan into lib/endorsed, if necessary
- Submit bug report, if the problem still persists.
It might be prudent to check whether the source doesn't already contain
the wrong URL.
