No, that's normal, this bug is about & being replaced with &amp; in the
<script> body, not in the src parameter value. For example:
<html><script type="text/javascript">if(skin && stylepath)
alert('woo')</script></html> 
will break, whereas 
<html><script type="text/javascript"
src="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.js/watchlist.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript";></script></html>
 
will correctly escape the & to &amp; and the browser expects and understands
this.

What error are you getting exactly? that gen=js appears on every page load, not
just watchlists, and is what loads MediaWiki:Common.js and
MediaWiki:SKINNAME.js (probably Monobook).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js/watchlist.js is loaded just on
the watchlist page, so possibly an error there.
