The relevant documentation here is: PRD03-GENC-010197 section 4.1.
The # is optional on all immediates.  The spec also requires that
disassemblers should always emit the # for readability.

I think we should insert the # for all immediates.

I'm curious  about Richards statement above, have you seen a scenario
where the assembler refuses to accept the # on an add?  I doubled
checked this particular case with and without using trunk gas and it
seems to be fine.
