Comment:

 Values are stored correctly, but they aren't being read properly on
 display; bp_get_the_profile_field_options(), around line 487. The & is
 stored as "&" in the database and it's being compared against "&". The
 "checkbox" db entry appears as the HTML entity, but the "option" values
 are stored as "&". Best fix is probably to stop the checkbox name being
 encoded (and do it on output rather than input).
