After getting a report that

Could be a UTF-8 issue? The q= has "Syria" (in Arabic) in it. Is
that stripped out
somewhere in some layer in Drupal?
bangpound pointed that out on the issue queue, too. Indeed url
encoding the arabic string fixes the behavior I described - my guesses
that Google News might require special request parameters were simply
not on the right track.
What I am not clear about now is whether wget and PHP streams do
better URL sanitation before doing the request or if non ASCII
characters are allowed in an HTTP URL but curl doesn't support it.
