Circuler infinite redirects with querystring [solved]

I had old legacy websites on multiple domains and languages consolidated to a new unified drupal installation (domain_access + i18n + migrate + redirect + domain_redirect + etc...). Top that, most of the old urls had querystrings part basic structure. I managed with some tweaking to succesfully make the whole thing work.
I noticed just recently a bug of infinite loops on a menu link that still reffered to the old website page URL.

I updated to latest dev version, disabled global redirect, cleared cache and it still did not work.
debug data did not provide much help either:
I got this data called ten times in a row (in redirect_redirect) before the browser gave that request cant be completed message.

(
    [redirect] => stdClass Object
        (
            [rid] => 887
            [hash] => qxdO7tPh0dPWv1wlv_VfbJGtY4EVy1Y_OnIecWA7uAQ
            [type] => redirect
            [uid] => 1
            [source] => 
            [source_options] => Array
                (
                    [query] => Array
                        (
                            [cmd] => crisis.440
                        )

                    [domain_id] => 3
                )

            [redirect] => node/2865
            [redirect_options] => Array
                (
                    [query] => Array
                        (
                            [cmd] => crisis.440
                        )

                    [domain_id] => 3
                    [base_url] => http://mywebsite.co.il
                    [absolute] => 1
                )

            [language] => und
            [status_code] => 301
            [count] => 101
            [access] => 1407055497
            [weight] => 1
            [callback] => redirect_goto
            [cache] => 1
        )

    [callback] => redirect_goto
)

Turns out that disabling "Retain query string through redirect. " managed to make it all ok again, re-enabling global redirect and testing shows it works ok now. no infinite loop anymore.

Hope this helps you guys to figure out how to prevent circular redirect, maybe make a test in the validation logic to see if it works with that setting turned off and then issue a warning of some sort to help the poor user who needs to debug this.

I have seen multiple issues regarding infinite redirect loops and bugs which can apply to my scenario, so I trust whoever know what's the dev snapshot & issues state is for categorizing and tagging this if its a duplicate, as I am not sure myself what is relevant.
