posts_nav_link separater malfunction 3.2.1

    I have a bunch of posts to display with pagination. I tested a setup with 3 pages.

    I’m using:
    posts_nav_link(' | ', '« Previous', 'Next »');

    Page 1 and 3 properly display just Previous or Next, but page 2 does not show a separator:
    « PreviousNext »

    I also tried:
    posts_nav_link();

    And the default separater is also not showing:
    « Previous PageNext Page »

    Is this a bug in the latest version of WordPress?

    Note, I disabled all plugins with same result. I’m customizing the starker’s template.

    Here’s the pastebin.

    After some debugging, I’ve narrowed it down to something is wrong with the regular expression that processes the separator in the “wp-includes/link-template.php” file of WordPress, line 1716:

    $return .= preg_replace('/&([^#])(?![a-z]{1,8};)/i', '&$1', $args['sep']);

    But in trying to figure out what the developer(s) originally intended, I’m at a loss.

    The first thing I notice is & should probably be & as every place I look around the internet doesn’t show it with a zero. And, what’s the $1 for?

    Next, why’s there a carat(^) in the character class after the initial ampersand? I’ve not seen anything in HTML with &^555; before.

    Can anyone with regex experience provide some insight?

    Okay, since the HTML is messing up the presentation of my notes, I’m adding some spaces:

    & # 0 3 8 ; should probably be & # 3 8 ;

    Got it, I was missing 'paged'=>$paged in my arguments for query_posts();
