You are correct, SQ is needed to prevent session hijacking and other nasty tricks that could be used. XSS issues are something else and the protection for them is else where.

I suppose you could modify the code to not do SQ completely by changing the code inside users.inc.t. But given the security issues it creates it is not something I would like to allow people to disable normally.

The real solution may be a clever JavaScript hack of sorts. I've looked at the google JavaScript and the URL handling code appears to be:
if (window.google_page_url == null) {
google_page_url = document.referrer;
if (window.top.location == document.location) {
google_page_url = document.location;
}
}

So, maybe you can use JavaScript to modify the value of document.referrer & document.location removing the SQ bit internally to allow for common URL.

Check on Google's support site, I am almost certain such issues have come up before and there maybe solutions I haven't even considered.
