Take a look at your admin/analysis page and put your tokens in for both index and query times. What I think you'll see is that the # is being stripped at query time due to the first PatternReplaceFilterFactory.
You probably want to split your analyzers into an index-time and query-time pair and do the appropriate replacements to keep # at quer time.
