Tried <img src="" ... /> ?
That's the actual XHTML syntax.

An old favorite quote of mine from the validator's mailing list is:
“Nothing wrong with the validator here, it just knows HTML better than you do”
The quote is not meant to be patronizing, but whether we like or not these
errors are not "bogus".  

I am not sure why your script/browser is not working in this particular
instance, but I can assure you than when you write HTML, ampersands have to be
escaped. Always.
