See FAQ 5.21!
There are several places in the createURL() method that append semicolons.
In an unpatched 3.1.5 copy, line 642 in Display.cc is but one of them,
and handles only input parameters defined by allow_in_form. The code
there is really pretty easy to follow.
All this begs the question of why you NEED just the ampersand as a
separator. The semicolon is the new standard for use in URLs, as opposed
to CGI, so any properly defined post-processing code really must recognize
and allow both. htsearch is just following the crowd in this regard.
