The # used for a heading is indeed the cause, but it can be improved: you need a space after the # for it to be a heading.

#b autocomplete appears.

So we basically wait one more char instead of totally giving up.

I’ll close this one off in favour of the open feature request (#pr-welcome) if anyone would like to add their voice there and maybe get that some more attention.
