The thing is, quoted get variables will get unquoted, quoted url parameters won't be unquoted automatically. That's up to the developer to handle.
Ran into the same issue today, and for me it made sense to do the quoting before passing it to the reverse function, but for me it was an URL which was passed to another url which clearly needs escaping (apache doesn't like double / by default :D) I can however see how you might not know the input and thus forget to quote it. The example above is a very good one for that. You can't just start escaping everything without breaking code in unexpected ways.
