Some long URLs not recognised by Confluence

Long URLs such as the one below are no longer recognised by Confluence v4.x, even though they were recognised and worked fine in v3.5.x

https://hetlalessingyee.kealus.com/ase/habbo/fr/housekeeping/jmx-api/*/kealus.common:name=TopError*,type=Log4jException/Count,Logger,Message,RootCause?html&sort=Log4jException:Count

I have been unable to isolate the issue down to a certain character in the URL, so it appears to be related to Confluence.

Using the short links provided by Confluence works fine and links to the proper URL. Pasting the link directly into the browser also leads to the correct location, but when pasted into Confluence in its long form it becomes a string and is not recognised as a URL
