Corey,

Were you running the Expresso 4.1 filters?? I just tried what you said and 
the filters spit out:

&amp for &amp
&lt for &lt

just as it should...

If you weren't running the 4.1 filters, give them a try [you can put them 
in your 4.02 code base without any hitches]... there were several other 
boundary conditions that have been fixed since 4.02  [such as B&G].

HTH!
