  The problem is that this text looks like XML, but it is not
well-formed XML.  You could first escape & into &_amp;:

    replace(title, '&_amp;', '&_amp;amp;')

then parse it into nodes.  For example with Saxon:

    saxon:parse(
        concat(
            '&lt;r&gt;',
            replace(title, '&_amp;', '&_amp;amp;'),
            lt;/r&gt;'))
      / r/node()

  PS: Of course, &_amp; is written with an underscore to prevent your
favorite emailer to interpret the character entity call.  Just remove
the '_'s.
