Have you tried quoting the branch name?

Using git checkout -b 'my&branch' works for me (single quotes around
the branch name).

Pushing to a local remote also works: git push --set-upstream
../git-test-2 'my&branch'

That being said, I would advise not using & in branch names,
specifically because it is a special character in shells.
