Please provide any additional information below.
When I make a quick entry without the "&" then it works fine.

I'm unable to reproduce this.  Using '&' in the quick add event title works for 
me.  Whatever was occurring in your case it is specific to the gdata module.  
Maybe an older version had a bug that has since been fixed.
