You may try undoing PmWiki's htmlspecialchars conversion, at least for
the ampersands you have in url parameters. The following code is
stolen from ASCIIMath recipe:

  $ascii = str_replace(
                array('<:vspace>', '&lt;', '&gt;', '&amp;'),
                array('', '<', '>', '&'),
                $ascii);
