Never mind, I got it working. Just add those URL query parameters to the WebRequest object that's being used:

RequestContext::getMain()->getRequest()->setVal('bar', 1');

Then pass the WebRequest object to the DerivativeRequest (first parameter). Works great!

RequestContext::getMain()->getRequest() describes the current request, so you'll probably want to create a DerivativeRequest from that and then only change the parameters in the DerivativeRequest.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Calling_internally has examples.

If you're doing this from within a parser function or hook (which is what it
sounds like), you'll want to make sure you disable the cache for the given
pages it's used on from within your callback function. Otherwise results
will get wonky :)

$parser->disableCache();

Gah, pressed send a little quickly. I also wanted to add:

A caveat though: I would be a little suspicious of code that involves

putting request parameters into the page output. Need to handle

both proper escaping *as well as* the case when you're being parsed

from a non-web request (like a jobqueue job).
