Yes, I can reproduce this with

(call-process-region (point-min) (point-min) "/bin/tcsh" nil "*test*" nil "-c" "echo abc#def")

However, using sh or bash instead of tcsh works (tcsh -c 'echo abc#def'
works on the command line, though).

So, perhaps, for some reason, emacs 25 and trunk use different shells on
your system?
