 When using the wp_register_script function in the functions.php file to
 override the jquery.js script, the HTML erroneously converts the ampersand
 for the cache busting query string into the HTML entity.

 {{{
 /**
  * Override jquery
  */
 function mytheme_init(){
         if ( !is_admin() ){
                 wp_deregister_script('jquery');
                 wp_register_script('jquery',
 get_template_directory_uri().'/js/jquery.js?183', array(), '1');
         }
 }
 add_action('init', 'mytheme_init');
 }}}

 When wp_head() is in the header.php file, it results in this HTML:

 {{{
 <script type='text/javascript'
 src='http://ymca.saratogaregionalymca.org/content/themes/mytheme/js/jquery.js?183&#038;ver=1'></script>
 }}}

 This appears to be an old bug, as there is a forum thread over a year old
 about the issue: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_register_script-
