Is it possible the problem is further down?  I tried:

TEST = 1 2 3 \# 4 5 6
test:
	echo $(TEST)

which ran the command:
	echo 1 2 3 # 4 5 6

Which displayed:
1 2 3

However the following:
TEST = 1 2 3 \\\# 4 5 6
test:
	echo $(TEST)

which ran the command:
	echo 1 2 3 \# 4 5 6

displayed:
1 2 3 # 4 5 6

Perhaps this is what you need.

With a name like mine you learn about quoting.  :-)
