The

Assuming I'm understanding your question correctly, no, this isn't a
bug.  A string such as 'email=alex' in the query string is treated as
specifying the value of the 'email' form variable, so the widget
framework notices this and uses 'alex' as the value of the widget.
This lets you link to a form and provide an initial value for one or
more fields.
