The bindings are explicit about the parameters they permit, so really, no, that's not allowed. I imagine people do it, I don't know exactly what the SP does with it. In your example, you're running into something that's generally viewed as iffy anyway, using POST with a form action containing a query string.

I don't understand what is dropping what. Once it reaches the IdP, it's out of the SP's hands and the next SP access is to the AssertionConsumerService at the SP.
