If the public page contains a non-entitized ampersand sign, it's a bug, 
ampersand signs should *always* be converted to an entity, they should 
never end up in the HTML unentitized. If it does, browsers will probably 
show the page correctly but the content is not well-formed XML anymore. 
If that does indeed happen, the validator is right. However, when I view 
a public Silva page I see the ampersand as an entity, in the title, the 
breadcrumb trail, etc. so it sounds like it's a problem with your custom 
template rather then a Silva bug.

Could you give me the URL that you validated so I can take a look for 
myself?
