I can now confirm this happens on another machine too. To test,

Settings -> Configure Amarok

Media Devices

Add device

Generic Audio Player

Add a name and click OK

Goto 'configure device settings' and under 'Transferring files to media 
device' try to add ogg or anything other than mp3 or wma you will see an & 
somewhere in the name eg. &ogg or a&c3 and you will not be able to save it.
