mythvideo fails and locks when playing filename that begins with "#"

Description
Trying to use mythvideo to play a file with the name "#1 Cheerleader Camp.mpg" results in mythfrontend locking up at the "please wait" notification. Changing the file name to "1# Cheerleader Camp.mpg" resolves the error. So the error is only triggered by the filename beginning with the "#" character.
Maybe other special characters also trigger this error. I have not tested.
I will attempt to attach the log output from mythfrontend. But this should be easy to reproduce.
My results are with Ubuntu 10.10 MythTV 0.24-fixes compiled by me from git with no extra patches. Mythvideo uses storage groups.

- Component changed from Plugin - MythVideo to MythTV - General
Not a MythVideo? specific error, this will happen with any URL with a # at the beginning in any part of Myth as it breaks URL parsing.

I applied the patch to 0.24-fixes, recompiled and changed the filename back to the one myth had the problem with. The video now plays without issue. Thanks.
