Generally, you can't rely on being able to put a "#" after a command
argument with no space and have it treated as starting a quote, so
whether it's a bug or not is somewhat philosophical.
I'll have a closer look after the release if this particular case can be
treated differently, however --- it's clearly not useful to have it
treated as a parse error if it's easy to do it otherwise.
