I'm trying to understand what circumstances would cause slide uris to

For "#":

the URI can not contain the "#" character inside a path segment, therefore it needs to be percent-escaped (see <http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc2396.html#rfc.section.2.4.1>)

For "&":

the URI *can* contain the "&" character inside a path segment, therefore it doesn't need to be escaped (see <http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc2396.html#rfc.iref.76>)

legally contain these characters?  Or are we talking about a case where
slide is serving html documents and/or CGI scripts as content to which you
could pass a reference with '#' or parameters with the '&' char?

Nope.

In both cases, Microsoft's client doesn't handle legal URIs properly (although these problems have been reported to MS through their official support channels a long time ago).
