Do Linux servers fail to display image file names which contain an
octothorpe?

Thanks in advance

that's a reserved character for URLs to denote anchor links:

mysite.com/mypage.html#myanchor

So, yea, don't use it in any of your web filenames.

You can always URL-encode such special chars. But I agree that avoiding
them is usually better.
