[wp-forums] Ampersands in backticked code still being encoded

Relevant code:
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1');?>

Converted to:
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&amp;depth=1');?>

Tried to edit it at least 4 times during which I tried everything except 
turning cartwheels in a prevailing west wind - but no joy.
