But it should not according to the specification!

  First of all "&dtml-XXX" does html_quote and not url_quote.
  Then, Lambert used "&dtml.-XXX" which should do nothing.

I expect, the problem is already in "getURL".
It "knows" that the ZCatalog path may contain characters illegal
in URL (such as space) and therefore url_quotes the result.
This is unfortunate for your case.

May might use a "Direct Traversal" (--> ZSQL advanced feature)
or "Python Script Traversal Subpath" approach to work around the
problem. In both cases, you would replace the query string by
path components.
