I was hoping someone else sees the same, to find some common ground 
where to start debugging.

Actually, I just checked Horde's Demo site  http://demo.horde.org 
(guest/guest)
When I try to reproduce it there (kronolith -> Mail-Search), I do not 
get the server error, but Firefox's "Frame info" for the search area 
gives the same, very large, URL

Frame info:

Mail :: Search:
Address: 
http://demo.horde.org/imp/basic.php?0=S&1=U&2=5&3=C&4=T&5=1&6=g&page=search&gsub=function+gsub(pattern%2Creplacement)%7Bvar+result......
Type: text/html
Render Mode: Standards compliance mode
Referring URL: http://demo.horde.org/imp/dynamic.php?page=mailbox

If I call Search from within the Mail application, the frame info changes to

Address: 
http://demo.horde.org/imp/basic.php?page=search&mailbox=SU5CT1g&token=jfDILj-Hy-jX5PSb6jHUIQ6

The difference in Horde Demo site seems to be that the web server does 
not complain about the long URL.
Any ideas?
