I did not evaluate the remainder of your message, but this analysis is not
correct. What you're observing is a side effect of itemtype interpretation in
URLs, and is not server specific (it also works with JumpJet). The # is not
actually transmitted to the server; it is interpreted as the item type to a
null request, which most browsers will interpret as an unknown item type and
attempt to display as text. To prove that # is not salient to Bucktooth,
% nc gopher.floodgap.com 70
#
0'/#' doesn't exist! error.host 1
