I can reproduce the issue. Weird.

Although, when you construct the string somehow (such as using '#'+'$', as you mentioned), then inspect it, it shows as "\#$", leading me to believe that this bizarre behavior is, in fact, some sort of a feature, if #inspect knows about this and produces a string that parses.
