How could an assembler state whether BADH is a hex number or a label in a
single pass?

Because they use a bad 8080-friendly assembler 8;)
Trivia: Most of the Motorola 680x0 series official documentation listings
are written in UPPER CASE when it's officially discouraged!
Trivia 2: Most of the Amiga system software is *NOT COMPLIANT* to the
official Style Guide!!
The # prefix was introduced as a more convenient *alternate* way of
specifying a hex number. It's not officially endorsed as the only supported
method!
People involved in writing the official docs felt more confortable with the
H suffixes, just like the M680x0 official coders felt confortable writing
with the caps locked.
