 I suggest:
   - you upgrade, libxml-1.8.4 is out and I did change things in the
     entities support in the meantime
   - that your use xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant and not xmlEncodeEntities
     which is deprecated since not reentrant

I'm surprised since xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant() code shows the following:
        } else if (*cur == '&') {
            *out++ = '&';
            *out++ = 'a';
            *out++ = 'm';
            *out++ = 'p';
            *out++ = ';';

How was the '&' passed to xml when read from file, or when built using the
API ? In taht case, which function ? It's hard to help by lack of context,
but check with an updated lib first so taht we talk about the same codebase.
