[EventCalendar] ec3_get_events() not translating ampersands into character entities

Hello PT;

Perhaps I didn't make it clear that there are hundreds of entries like
this. Any time there is an ampersand, single quote or extended
character in the title, the character entity without the final
semicolon appears in the title spec for any calendar entry made with
ec3_get_calendar(). 

But the character entities are being correctly translated within
wordpress itself, and with entries made by ec3_get_events().

When (if) I figure out how to look into my database  (and what to look
for), I'll report back.
