It's not a bug. It's the fact that the semicolon character is treated the same as a newline, in that it separates commands. This is a Tcl language feature.
If you want a semicolon, either surround the entire value with double-quotes, or use a backslash to escape the semicolon.
livecheck.url "${homepage}release/?C=M;O=D" livecheck.url ${homepage}release/?C=M\;O=D
Ok, it actually was a bug, but not with semicolons - the livecheck target wasn't de-escaping the URL, so the presence of any whitespace, semicolons, or curly braces would cause this issue.
I've fixed the problem in r26041.
Cool! Thanks.
