Mike, I'm quite easily able to move an object using Move-ADObject and to a targetpath with a & without an error. This is using my DC running PS v2.0
If I attempt to use "&" I get the error you have stated. None of the probably helps you but I say it because you should be able to run this without attempting any escaping.
