Why can't WP8 take a font url with a querystring?

I might suppose it is a "feature" specific to IE on Windows Phone. Removing the query string from the URL is a trick used in several places, according to what I read from the Google search I did when facing this issue with Windows Phone.

Some interesting reading on the subject are the following posts:
