I don't understand why having a "&amp;" in the file would be any problem for 
Numbers. In fact, it is not a problem in experiments I did.

If I save your "typical line" as a .csv file, it opens with no problem in 
Numbers. I tried duplicating the line several times to make a multi-line CSV; 
still no problem for Numbers (v 4.3).

Could there be something else that BBEdit is changing? Perhaps the &amp; code 
is a non sequitur? I thought about line endings, but I tried all three BBEdit 
choices in my experiment. Numbers seems agnostic. Unless maybe your file has 
mixed line endings?
