If I use "&" instead of & in the url in site.xml, I have the same problem.

If I use "&", I get & resulting html output. That works and that validates, so that will be my workaround in the meantime.

That is indeed the issue. But I didn't understand the resolution; does that mean I need to use 0.8-dev to get the fix incorporated?

Ross, I will assume that since David's issue tracked this, I don't need to raise a separate issue on the tracker.
