 I'm unable to add at tag to a post when the tag has an ampersand in it.

 Otto says:

 ''I don't get an error, but I do have to save it twice for some reason.
 When I hit enter, the tag gets saved to the database, but shortly
 disappears from the field. Reentering it makes it show up in the quick
 selection, and selecting that actually puts the tag on the post

 In the database, the term is actually saved as "a & z". I think that
 disconnect between the entered tag and the one created to the database is
 confusing to the editor code which is why it disappears. When I reenter
 it, it fetchs from the DB with the amp; and now it's correct.''
