Hmm. Maybe the original problem I was trying to track down is nothing to do with this, but it is still weird.

Even your 5.6 output shows that \Q#\E doesn't work the way you (er..I) would expect. The #, \, E & the following space are all being escaped?

Thanks for the \x23 idea. That may get me around this?
