Receiving "Malformed parameter "url"." error when running "php bin/console oro:message-queue:consume --env=prod".

Receiving Malformed parameter "url". error when running php bin/console oro:message-queue:consume --env=prod. I've tried just about everything including a fresh reinstall - but nothing seems to work... In some other libraries that use parameters.yml files, it seems to boil down to the mySQL connection string needing to be escaped due to special characters being used in mySQL passwords and in secret strings, but escaping those doesn't seem to work either. Any thoughts?
