mod_cgi in 1.4.10 doesn't handle empty QUERY_STRING properly. Whilst 1.4.9 did something like this:

  cgi_env_add(&env, CONST_STR_LEN("QUERY_STRING"), con->uri.query->used ? con->uri.query->ptr : "");
  cgi_env_add(&env, CONST_STR_LEN("REQUEST_URI"), con->request.orig_uri->used ? con->request.orig_uri->ptr : "");

you changed this to

  cgi_env_add(&env, CONST_STR_LEN("QUERY_STRING"), CONST_BUF_LEN(con->uri.query));
  cgi_env_add(&env, CONST_STR_LEN("REQUEST_URI"), CONST_BUF_LEN(con->request.orig_uri));

in 1.4.10. These need {{{if (!buffer_is_empty(...)}}} wrappers to avoid passing junk QUERY_STRING through to CGI scripts. (I was getting random characters in my QUERY_STRING, presumably from other lighttpd buffers.)

Here is a patch:
