Yes.

That presents a usability problem and would be a change in behaviour if added
to all elements that support uris.

With an object that has a debug boolean property.

g_object_set (o, "uri", "prot://location?debug=1", "debug", FALSE, NULL);
behaves differently to
g_object_set (o, "debug", FALSE, "uri", "prot://location?debug=1", NULL);
when they really shouldn't.
