Trac produces invalidly marked-up URLs in links

Description
The URLs in the roadmap page contain ampersands, but fail to be encoded as & entities.
For example, the link for viewing closed tickets on Trac's 0.8.2 milestone is sent as …href="/trac/query?status=closed&milestone=0.8.2"… when it should be sent as …href="/trac/query?status=closed&milestone=0.8.2"…
Encoding the ampersands in URLs is necessary for valid XHTML and fixing it won't cause problems for any browsers, even though most are smart enough to deal with this bit of invalid markup. Also, this error is currently preventing Trac from serving with a content-type of application/xhtml+xml (Firefox craps out on this error and won't show the page).
For more information, see Ampersands (&'s) in URLs. For confirmation that this is happening, run the roadmap page through W3C's validator.
I'm afraid I don't know enough about Trac's internals to know if the generation of invalidly marked-up URLs is specific to the Roadmap function, but that's the page that is giving this error.

These same un-marked-up URLs exist on the browser page as well, so I'm moving this from roadmap to general.
