First, I don't have any insight into CLI calibre and you might get a better answer from Mobileread or by posting a bug, but my guess is that the # character must be reserved exclusively for fragment identifiers for HTML. So it is most likely a feature, not a bug.

Think about it. If the file name were allowed to contain a #, then you would not be able to use HTML anchors on that page. But epub is required to support HTML which uses anchors. This is not an issue with calibre or mobi, but with the very nature of HTML.

I don't understand why you need a # symbol there, but it seems easy enough to switch a # symbol with another one (like + or - or $). Problem solved!
