The problem is that the ``'' is substituted first, but the substitution contains # (“ ” being the HTML entity codes for open and close double quotes) and its legal for a quote markup to occur after & so as you found the first # in the open entity is taken as the start of the # quoted text, and the # after span which is followed by a space is the end quote. You could try changing the order of the quotes in asciidoc.conf, putting # above ``|''. I don't know what other effects that might have.
