Description
If a taxonomy term name contains an ampersand (&) it is rendered as & in the category list.
On the rest of the site the terms are displayed with &.

Hmm, I'm not seeing this. Is there a URL where I can see it?
#2
I do see that the June 6 commit made a small change in this area. Are you using the versions after that?
#3
I use
6.x-1.x-dev (2008-Jun-07)6.x-1.x-dev (2008-Jun-09).#4
I'd like to see this on your site, if possible. As you can see from the attached image, I have several special HTML characters that display fine.

Nancy, have you got my e-mail?
It works properly with the Selection type 'Check boxes' but not with 'Selection box'!

Yes, I was just responding to it, and discovered the same thing. I don't know why the Forms API distinguishes, but the problem is in the core Forms module.
I'll take a look at the core code and see if it's worth submitting an issue and patch to fix it.

Fix committed to both branches.

After updating to Taxonomy Browser 5.x-1.3, the taxonomy browser page stopped displaying. I found that it was caused by using PHP 4 with this patch: htmlspecialchars_decode wasn't added until 5.1.0.
#9
Yes, I discovered that in a another module and didn't realize I was using that here too.
Fix committed to both branches.
BTW, D7 will require at least PHP 5.2.5 and MySql 5+. Time to get your host started with upgrading to supported software levels.
