I don't understand what makes you think it's an HTML::Parser bug.  The HTML is
invalid, and any browser that understands the entity name following the
ampersand will interpret it.  If you run HTML with an unescaped ampersand
through a validator (and the ampersand is followed by letters than aren't an
entity name), it will tell you the HTML is invalid.

The trailing semicolon is a very good idea, but it's not required in HTML (which
is SGML based).  And this has been going on for a long time (which is why W3C
started recommending using semicolons rather than ampersands in query strings).
See this thread, for example:

(Ugh, what has Google done to its Usenet URLs?)

It may well be that this needs to be handled one way or another, but it's not a
bug in HTML::Parser.
