The GAS manual does not say this.  It does say in (as.info)Macro that the
ampersand can be used as a separator in altmacro mode.  It continues to say

     Note: this problem of correctly identifying string parameters to
     pseudo ops also applies to the identifiers used in `.irp' (*note
     Irp::) and `.irpc' (*note Irpc::) as well.

which doesn't actually say that & has a special meaning within .irp as well. 
However, this could well be the reason for the bug, as an .irp loop is being 
used.

In any case, doubling did not work for me.
