I went through the same issue last week and meant to write it up. I ended up
adding a new helper in lib/helpers.py:
import cgi
def my_url_for(*args, **kargs):
u = url_for(*args, **kargs)
return cgi.escape(u, True)
and call my_url_for wherever url_for was called. This correctly escapes the &
and passes the validator.
This should probably be added to Routes - Ben?
