 We've noticed a peculiar bug in the standard rewrite rules for wp if & is
 included in any url, as part of the path, not the query string.

 EGs:
  * http://tekartist.org/&nbsp/anything
  * http://ma.tt/&blah/test

 The rewrite rule serves the default page, without returning a 404.

 My best guess at this time is that what is happening is that the inclusion
 of & in a rewritten path is actually seen as a query param (eg: treated as
 /index.php?&nbsp=...)
