I can confirm what coramba says.

Joomla SEF = off
VM SEO = disabled

all works.

Joomla SEF = on
VM SEO = disabled

ask a question = modal opens - 404 The requested product does not exist.


Joomla SEF = on
VM SEO = enabled (empty)

ask a question = modal opens - Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in /xxxx/libraries/joomla/registry/registry.php on line 336

menu link to user account settings - page opens, I do nothing here but hit cancel:
Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in /xxxx/libraries/joomla/registry/registry.php on line 336

Joomla SEF = on
VM SEO = disabled

menu link to user account settings - page opens, I do nothing here but hit cancel: no error, all fine.

Joomla 2.5.7
Vm 2.10

Rewrite URL setting will do redirection(301) from dynamic page to meaningful name and this may be the reason you are not able to access old pages with query string. There is no harm to implement SEO and URL rewriting setting but make sure you manage them properly
