Maybe the # needs to be escaped somehow if it's not inside a {}?
I'm pulling at straws here, though...

That said, I'd actually prefer it if all the examples were inside
a
  \markup { ... }
or
  \markup {
    ...
  }

I know that \markup \command { ... } also works, but to me it
seems to be asking for trouble (especially if users try to copy
and paste examples without really understanding them).
In the NR, I make a special point of telling everybody to write
out all {} <<>> fully, ie
\new Voice {
  \relative c' {
    ...
  }
}
instead of
\new Voice \relative c' {
  ...
}
