Yes it's done on purpose. Windows doesn't allow a colon in path names
which shouldn't be a problem as they are translated to directory
separators anyway. Unfortunately some (I thought all) apache/php
versions on Windows do not allow the colon in the URL, too. I cannot
remember the whole circumstances but the semicolon was needed to get it
work on some windows configs (search the bugtracker - there may be some
more info). It is just an cosmetical issue. You can just create your
links with a colon as usual. If you don't like how it looks I recommend
the useslash option.
