Legacy also has a "description" field for events and that might is one reason it doesn't translate correctly. Ancestry would need to look for the NOTE tag in the gedcom and translate it to that Desc field.
I do see the "Notes" field now under the Tools icon. (thank you for that!) I will have to play with that a bit. Since Legacy uses the standard gedcom NOTE tag then Ancestry needs to be the one to interpret that information correctly when it is uploaded.

In Facts you can add a description to the fact. There is another place under Tools in the upper right corner that notes and comments can be entered. The notes in this area are added by the owner of the tree, but anyone can access the comments portion. We had a great session at rootstech on this.

Even if Legacy exports a note for an event if there is no place in Ancestry.com trees where that can be saved then the note will not be imported by Ancestry. A second question would be what settings you are using when you create the GEDCOM in Legacy for upload to Ancestry. Are Event Notes turned on?
