Reported as bug #5908  (http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/5908)

I should have been more precise regarding the URL.  An example URL is:
http://scriptures.lds.org/en/luke/24/6#6
I assume that this is a valid URL.

Thanks. It turns out that you found a bug in the LaTeX-package hyperref. I'll inform you when I know 
more.

I was too rash. The problem is the following: In hyperlinks the # character must not be escaped as 
command \#. While it must be escaped when the hyperlink is in the footnote. This is not easy to 
handle and I'm not sure if we can do something about it since the behaviour seem to depend on the 
hyperref package version. Please open a bug nevertheless.

I can confirm the problem on Mac OS X 10.5.6 with TeXLive 2008. Here's
the error message (repeated 3 times):

You meant to type ## instead of #, right?
