There is an ampersand (&) symbol in the neck of the woman (Morgan?) on my 1892-O Morgan dollar coin. Anyone have any idea whether that would've been printed there before or after production, and why?

Sounds like some kind of counterstamp done after the coin left the mint.

Someone with a hammer and punch set with entirely too much time on their hands. Done well after the coin was in circulation.
