You'd think the software behind the bug-tracker could simply ignore
the "#" if people type it in this box. It would seem natural enough
for a user to type it, since "#" is shown loud&clear in the Netsurf
info box as part of the version number.
Hits on the same pet peeve as websites that throw hissyfits if you
type a credit-card number exactly as shown on the card with the spaces
that make it human-readable and human-checkable. Ditto phone numbers.
