Hmm no joy with \&. Seems to upset the invocation of git web-browse

  git config gitk.linkify.bugtracker.sub \
       'https://internalhost/code\&stuff/bugs.php?id=\1'

  gitk
  /home/chrisp/libexec/git-core/git-web--browse: line 167:
stuff/bugs.php?id=bug123: No such file or directory
  fatal: 'web--browse' appears to be a git command, but we were not
  able to execute it. Maybe git-web--browse is broken?

Using the following works as expected with no error with your updated patch.

  git config gitk.linkify.bugtracker.sub \
       'https://internalhost/code%26stuff/bugs.php?id=\1'
