Hmm, no direct idea why this fails :/

Just tested on (Gentoo) Linux, okular 1.9.3 (I see 1.10 is out) and it works fine.  I also tested 1.9.2 (latest available in the Windows Store) in a Wind 10 guest in VirtualBox, and it also works fine whether # is at the beginning or in the middle of the file name.  What version of Windows are you on?
