Description
We moved from a mediawiki site to a drupal site using pathauto.
Some of the URLs changed such that:
/wiki/Allen_&_Overy (mediawiki- include escapes for &, not shown)
becomes
/wiki/allen-overy
It seems that the ampersand breaks the whole thing, and asks if I would like to create the page 'Allen'.
You can see this particular example on the links on this page

I think you're confused - I believe this is a pathauto problem, and I also believe you can fix it in the pathauto settings.
Also note that the ampersand is a special character, so it may not be possible to include it in paths.
