HST link generation regression in 15.2.0

Reported by client:

When upgrading to 15.2.0, we noticed that url parameters are unwantedly passed to other links on the same page.

I debugged the behaviour and found in HstLinkImpl#toUrlForm line 397 this new code

if (!requestContext.isPageModelApiRequest() && requestContext.getServletRequest().getQueryString() != null)

{ urlString += "?" + requestContext.getServletRequest().getQueryString(); }

The params are for the current page, we never want them to be automatically set in other URL's. Can this behaviour be changed on your end?
