Non-entity ampersands followed by a later entity-indicating ampersand cause pieces of content to be skipped

Actual:

<blockquote>
<p>According to the ranking, Samsung has increased R This far exceeds the only other two
major technology companies who made the list, IBM and Cisco, who invested a relatively weak
$6.9 billion and $5.9 billion respectively.</p>

Expected:

<blockquote><p>According to the ranking, Samsung has increased R&amp;D spending to a
whopping $13.4 billion this year from $10.4 billion last year <strong>while Intel spent
a not-too-shabby $10.6 billion, up from the $10.1 billion spent last year.</strong>
&#xA0;This far exceeds the only other two major technology companies who made the list, IBM
    and Cisco, who invested a relatively weak $6.9 billion and $5.9 billion respectively.

My gut says this is probably an issue with the EntityParser's regex being too greedy. (Note how it starts at the first ampersand and continues through the  ).
