Yes there is a reason for not allowing '&' and various other symbols - because they can lead to remote file inclusions and other forms of hacking!

For your info this "stripping" is due to a function located in includes/functions.php - the function is called phpbb_clean_username($username).
You could modify it, if you wanted to allow symbols, though that really wouldn't be advisable ;)
