That serves me well for going with small fonts at the end of day :).
The ampersand is there, but not underlined. I've tried a few combinations of the hotkey prefix and real ampersand in the caption, and they all look weird - some of them underline the next space etc.
Didn't notice any clipping, though. Maybe the button you tried it on was not wide enough?

>>OK, I may sound too happy, but I've just discovered how to have an ampersand in a caption of a commandbutton (didn't try with other stuff with captions yet): add two hotkey prefixes, and they will show as one underlined ampersand.
