adCenter Content Ads Beta Changing URLs

When I changed over to the adCenter content ads beta bad things started to happen....

Basically my destination urls are being changed - adCenter is adding characters to them which is causing issues with my analytics package. "Issues" meaning I can't track anything...

Basically anytime adCenter sees a "&" in my url it adds "amp;" to the url.

So if the url I entered was;

www.t-e-s-t.com/productID1&Section4.html

adCenter is changing it to;

www.t-e-s-t.com/productID1&Section4.html

Anyone else run into (and solve) this? I have a request open with adCenter as well but figured it never hurts to ask everyone who may have the answer. If you've had this issue feel free to post a comment here or drop me an e-mail.
