When a new user signs up, in the verification email that receives the link is broken. If the link in the EMail is clicked, I get the following error:

APPLICATION ERROR #200 A required parameter to this page (confirm_hash) was not found.

Following is a sample Email that I get upon new user registration.

I figured out that the problem is there's an additional "amp;" in the link, and when I remove it and pastes in the browser and hit enter, it works.

Removed the 'amp;' from it, and now works fine.
Is this supposed to be correct or is this a bug?

My edited version (which works) look like this:
