 At wp-includes/widgets.php:694, the following line:
 {{{
 wp_dropdown_categories($cat_args . '&show_option_none= ' . __('Select
 Category'));
 }}}
 Doesn't handle html entities coming from !__() translation, since they
 contain ampersands. To correct this, we can change it to:
 {{{
 wp_dropdown_categories($cat_args . '&show_option_none= ' .
 urlencode(__('Select Category')));
 }}}
 This is easily seen in Spanish (es_ES.po file can be found here:
 http://reyson.re.funpic.de/downloads/wp2.5-es_ES-po.rar), where 'Select
 Category' translates to 'Seleccionar Categoría'.
