The # notation, in this context, is primarily for use in mapping
function keys where #1 represents function_key 1.  If you map!
something to #1, when you do a map! you will see something like,

    f1     ^[OP     what_you_mapped_to

where ^[OP is the termcap code for the F1 key for your terminal type
($TERM).  (This isn't necessarily what your F1 key generates - but
that's another problem).  So when you see 'fi' this behaviour appears
to be extended to 'function_key i'.  I suspect this, and the spurious i's
or R's are indications of some bug. :-(

The good news though, is that behaviour you desire can be achieved with
the following macro :-)

    map! #i #include <.h>^[hh

This doesn't need an 'a' to append since map! leaves you in the editing mode
you were in previously.  However, the macro above only leaves the
cursor in the right place when you start in insert (i), open (o), or
replace (R) mode, but not append (a).  This is really quite easy to
live with, though, since a typical sequence of keystrokes would be:

    i#istdio<esc>o#istdlib<esc>o            ...

Hope this helps.
