I don't think it is a specific user-agent.
I'm getting the error with many different UAs (i haven't found any  
pattern yet).
The error has appeared for a long time, so I can't attribute the  
problem to changes I made recently.

Anyway, this problem is in reverse.
I found and fixed some more of my own errors: (having unencoded  
ampersands in links in my html)

I was very surprised to notice the opposite problem: URLs containing  
& instead of just ampersands

I'm wondering if it could be an indexing error in some crawlers, or  
maybe a bookmarking bug in some browsers...
It is just very odd
