Guidance: Upgrade your version of org-mode.

Exporting the following subtree to HTML works for me

,----[ test.org ]
| * Export test for ampersand
| This & that is cool.
| This \amp that.
`----

,----[ test.html ]
| ...
| <h1 class="title">Export test for ampersand</h1>
| 
| <p>This &amp; that is cool.
| This &amp; that.
| </p><div id="postamble">
| <p class="author"> Author: Bernt Hansen
| </p>
| ...
`----

My version of org-mode is Org-mode version 7.4
(release_7.4.89.g4ed00.dirty)

HTH,
