Bug: Can't create org-link to heading containing an ampersand

what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

I have the following heading:

* Example & Test

When I create the following link to it, I expect it to navigate to the heading when I call org-open-at-point (C-c C-o):
[[Example & Test][Example & Test]]

Instead, calling org-open-at-point offers to create a new heading. If I say yes, a new heading is created, but calling org-open-at-point again on the link offers to create another heading identical to the first that was created.

I have org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline set to ‘query-to-create.

It appears that the ampersand is not being found in the heading search.
