This is a bug (CR137465). The problem is not that URI::query is doing a regex match, it's that it's essentially doing an "ends with" match, instead of the correct exact match.

There's a decent workaround; a bit of a hack, but nowhere near as slow as doing a loop.

 set uri [string replace [HTTP::uri] 0 0 "?&"] 
  Note the "&" in front of paramname! 
 set value [URI::query $uri &paramname]
