QSA in RewriteRule only works if there is already a query string in the destination URL

RewriteRule p/ajax /ajax.php [QSA,L]

Will not work because the script will never append the querystring as it will not get past if new_qs then. So the querystring will be lost.

I need to append a random string to the destination path in order for QSA to work:

RewriteRule p/ajax /ajax.php?x=1 [QSA,L]

This works and passes the incoming querystring to the rewrite url.
