I think I see what's happening. Test::Builder escapes any hashes in  
the diagnostic string passed to ok() - so  our \# becomes \\#. When  
we parse it again we see '\\' as an escaped backslash - which  
shouldn't hide the hash - so we interpret the diagnostic as a directive.

I'm not sure what the correct solution is. It's a problem that  
probably won't affect anyone apart from us. I'm going to leave the  
current (nasty) fix in there until we think of something better.
