Description
A request to https://wordpress.org/themes/?p=5 returns a 404 error, but, then the JS kicks in and returns the themes front page.
This is incredibly messy from an SEO and from an analytics perspective.
We either need to:
- Continue to let 404 these 'properly' server-side, but replicate this experience client-side (which is odd, as adding an arbitrary query parameter like this shouldn't result in a 404), or;
- Ensure that the server-side request matches the client-side experience.

I can't reproduce this, is it still an issue? It may have been fixed by something else.
