I have not a solution for your problem, but in that particular case, why
do you want a "&" in the src="" of your <script> tag? That is not valid
XHTML. The &amp; would indeed be the correct output, and any browser
will send it correctly (as "&") to the server.

You could only have "&" inside a CDATA section and if it is some JS
code, you can do that my using page.inlineJS.1234 ...
