What *I* think is that it's a special case, and any such pre-fetch system ought to, by default, *not* pre-fetch anything with GET parameters in it.
*All* GETs have side effects by definition: you get something different depending on what the parameters are.
Right--but they don't necessarily have side effects. For example, I think GETs are the right way to do the panes in these pages: http://www.wunderland.com/LooneyLabs/Chrononauts/lostids/view.html
And there's no reason all of those pages (database entries) shouldn't be pre-fetchable.
