Better not do that.
Similarly, better not set font-lock-keywords (where did this idea come
from?  I'd like to know so I can fix the source of the problem).   Instead,
set font-lock-defaults:

    (set (make-local-variable 'font-lock-defaults)
         '(psc-font-lock-keywords nil nil ((?# . "w"))))

Note how it tells font-lock to (temporarily) treat # as a word component.
As for your main syntax-table, it should probably use something like "'"
rather than "w" for #.
