Gravatar: &d broken

Description

The &d gravatar URL option appears to broken, currently.

Example (the one given on gravatar.com):

http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/00000000000000000000000000000000?d=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fimages%2Favatar.jpg

Instead of redirecting to http://example.com/images/avatar.jpg, it redirects to http://i2.wp.com/example.com/images/avatar.jpg - and this is incorrect (results in an HTTP 400 bad request).

Unfortunately, that breaks situations where the site concerned isn't publicly visible (i.e, the users browsing the page can access the image, but the gravatar service cannot).

As Gravatar isn't a WordPress.org project, this should be reported to them via http://en.gravatar.com/support/
I've followed up personally with the Gravatar team at Automattic.

I'd suggest writing a local proxy for Gravatar requests that would detect an invalid response and return an image.

In any case, as noted above, Gravatar issues should be reported to Automattic.

Also, to close the loop on this, this is a documented gravatar requirement:
