I've have had a similar problem.  
My solution was to implement my own splitter in Ruby.

Here's my topic:  
[How to handle '=' in values, splitting on | but KV takes over all '=' not only the first](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-handle-in-values-splitting-on-but-kv-takes-over-all-not-only-the-first/97851)

But as I see, you have a problem with pair split parameter';', mine was with key/value split parameter '='.  
Hope you're can use mine as a waypoint.
