Comment:

 Thanks for the report, @damiankaelgreen .

 This is expected behaviour, as `esc_url()` escapes the ampersand in the
 URL, converting it to `&`. `parse_url()` is not intended to work with
 escaped ampersands.

 It may be that you should be using `esc_url_raw()` in this particular
 case, as `esc_url()` is meant to be used late to escape a URL for output.
