I can confirm rightout it's a bug.

The setup writes out a temporary defaults file for subsequent actions it needs to take, such as creating the additional users and loading the schema. The '#' character denotes the start of comments in such file, and hence the part that is:

[mysql]

password=someything#rest

will ignore the '#rest' part of the password.

If you would please create a ticket in Bugzilla, I can have a look at fixing this later this week.

Thanks, in advance,

Kind regards,
