I think the problem stays the same, as GNU awk also replaces ampersands
by the matched pattern (and \1 to \9 are also replaced by matched
groups with awk).
I did a quick research myself revealing that it is a somehow frequent
problem, but I found no solution other than escaping URL first.
Apparently, the only two characters to be escaped are & and \ (both for
sed and for awk).
