Ok. I think I found it.
The problem only occurs when using the OpenOffice dialogs (under Tools, Option,
OpenOffice, General, Open/Save dialogs "Use OpenOffice dialogs"
If that option is not checked using the Windows Save dialog does allow to name
the file anything.
I just tested with LO 5.3.7 and what they do is instead of the error message,
the file is saved with whatever is before the # character (e.g. Bug#1 is saved
as "Bug" without any extension). So the bug is not fixed in LO, it is just a
different mistake.
Why can't the # character be used in the OpenOffice dialog? Testing with the
character : (which I know is not allowed) provides a different error message
(but not clearer)
Using the Windows dialog when testing with : I do get a logical message "The
file name is not valid"

The can you change the Status to Confirmed? I can do that myself but I think
it's a bad principle (in fact I think the bugs should be flagged as UNCONFIRMED
by default)

Maybe a developer can answer that (and hopefully fix it :) )
The reason I use the "old" dialog is because it allows me to save passwords to
remote folders ;)

Installed AOO 4.1.5 (pt) and Language Pack (en-US) on Windows 7 Pro (64bit):
I still can't reproduce it...
OK, I see you used the OpenOffice dialog. I now can confirm the behavior!
Just a guess:
The "filepicker" code is really old, maybe it was a restriction in Windows 98
an was never removed?

Ah, yes. I'm running Windows 7 Pro x64 (but there is no architecture option for
Windows in Hardware).
It does work correctly under Windows XP Pro x86
> (Why is this issue opened for OOo 3.3.0 or older?)
Because I tested with previous versions of AOO and OOo 3.3.0 and the problem
also occurs (so it is not a regression)

I'm using the PT Installer + en_US Language Pack (I prefer the menus in
English)

I can't save on any folder. Not even on the My Documents. The problem is the
Hash character. I can save on any folder if the name doesn't contain the hash.
I found this out because I rename the files attached to a Bug number with
Bug#999 (where 999 is the exact number of the bug on the tracker)
I can load previous files which contain # in the name (they were created in LO
which doesn't have this bug at least since version 4.0)

I now installed AOO 4.1.5 (de) on Windows 7 Pro (64bit) and still can not
reproduce it.
I even installed the Portuguese Language Pack. ;-)
However, that sounds more like a restriction of the file system. Do you try to
save locally (NTFS) or on Stick/NAS?
