[issue3704] cookielib doesn't handle URLs with / in parameters

What specific breakage do you expect resulting from my patch being backported?

There is no behaviour change here, except to the minimal extent that all bug fixes involve behaviour change.  This seems a clear-cut backport candidate.

It's not a surprise to me that changing module urlparse to be compliant with RFC 3986 breaks code -- I suggested adding a new module instead for that reason.
