When rewriting href fragment anchor links, it appears that the link is written to include the url query string, however the ampersands (i.e. &) do not seem to be properly encoded (i.e. &).

I ran across this when trying to upgrade my site to 3.1.6 and ran ?flush=all. Apparently there is something called a flush token now, that gets appended to the query sting like ?flush=all&flushtoken=4abe001b7dd6842e8c0a6b290210d30a. And that gets put on my anchor link like href="/page?flush=all&flushtoken=4abe001b7dd6842e8c0a6b290210d30a#anchortext" and that un-encoded ampersand causes the site to not render.

Is this a bug, or do I have something setup wrong?

Addition:
This could be any query string:

http://domain.com/page?one=1&two=2

turns:

<a href="#anchortext">

to:

<a href="/page?one=1&two=2#anchortext">

when it should, I think, do:

<a href="/page?one=1&amp;two=2#anchortext">
