Since a while ^, _ and & can be used in text mode like any other character.
You can disable this with \donknuthmode at the begin of your document or
use the \aligntab where you would normally use & but the best thing is
to use one of contexts build in table environment.

respected. If a user wants to use it, it should be usable
unconditionally.
