The backslash only has escaping properties if it is in front of a construct that actually has markup meaning. The first two hashes is an "unquoted text" markup (with no content) followed by a hash without a closing hash and so its not markup. If you escape the first hash it is put in the output and the second two are now the unquoted text markup. If you escape the first two the last is again not markup since there is no matching end hash. So if you now escape the last one, its not markup anyway and so the backslash isn't an escape, its a backslash.
