Ok, after yet more searching, I found the solution here:
http://www.planetmike.com/2005/04/12/wget-and-urls-with-ampersands/

The two comments in the page above are still relevant.

Should the man page be patched?
Can this be considered a bug in wget?

I searched the official bug tracker:
https://savannah.gnu.org/search/?words=ampersand&type_of_search=bugs&Search=Search&exact=1#options
but when trying to view a specific issue I get:
" Error: This project has turned off this tracker."
