See Fredrik's message. The problem is not with htmlentitydefs, but with your usage of ElementTree - in ElementTree, the .entity dictionary values are not again parsed, apparently causing the '&' to be taken as a literal ampersand, and not as markup. That said, it *would* be possible to change htmlentitydefs in Python 3.0, to always map to Unicode characters; this would not be possible for 2.x (as Fredrik points out).
