If you use "&" rather than "&", the ampersand will simply not appear in the footnotes popup, rather than causing an error message. (The ampersand will appear as normal if you select "Go To Footnotes," of course.) Not a great workaround, but better than the stupid error message.

But in general I hate this "feature." It's based on software trying to guess what is and isn't a footnote, and the problem with guessing is it results in the wrong answer some percentage of the time. I'm currently struggling to find a way to have both footnotes and internal links (as in "see section 3") in a book, and I haven't yet found the magic html that consistently prevents an internal link from appearing in the footnotes popup.

Grr.
