I think, a stronger argument might be desirable (something like a real world scenario wherein a web app can construct such an entity) for a path that ends in a semi-colon for breaking backwards compatibility. 

OTOH, making it RFC 3986 compliant itself is a good enough argument, but it should be applied in total and the whole module should be made compatible instead of pieces of it. There is a bug to track it. You can mention this instance for the desired behavior in that ticket too (and close this ticket if this desired behavior is a subset).
