Awesome directions, here's the output from my instance of that command:

             position: 110 of 3316 (3%), column: 0
            character: # (displayed as #) (codepoint 35, #o43, #x23)
    preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
code point in charset: 0x23
               syntax: . 	which means: punctuation
             category: .:Base, a:ASCII, l:Latin, r:Roman
             to input: type "C-x 8 RET HEX-CODEPOINT" or "C-x 8 RET NAME"
          buffer code: #x23
            file code: #x23 (encoded by coding system undecided-unix)
              display: by this font (glyph code)
    xft:-unknown-Liberation

Character code properties: customize what to show
  name: NUMBER SIGN
  general-category: Po (Punctuation, Other)
  decomposition: (35) ('#')

There are text properties here:
  c-in-sws             t
  c-is-sws             t
  category             c-cpp-delimiter
  face                 font-lock-preprocessor-face
  fontified            t
  risky-local-variable t
  syntax-table         nil

As you can see that is the exact output indicating the bug.

Thank you for the patch and further directions/suggestions.
