WordPress? incorrectly stores the encoded value (& in this case) in the database. It does this in a few places, not just the blog title. I've talked this over with Ryan and we agreed to postpone fixing this until after 2.7 is released.

The app could run the blog title through an HTML entity decode. For now that's the best we can do.
