I finally managed to solve my problem with fancy URLS in news manager if it helps anyone.
In the main admin settings I had Permalink structure %parent%/%slug% without a trailing slash, causing the news posts to append to parentpost instead of parent/post. The default permalink structure has a trailing slash, %parent%/%slug%/
I realised this when setting up a new test site for GS3.1 - it just shows how a simple error can cause a whole load of problems!
The issue with html validation still exists though, where fancy urls are not used, there's no & entity in the urls.
