In 4.2 Globing: 

> ‘x##’
>    Matches one or more copies of the glob pattern x. Thus,‘fo#.el’ matches fo.el, foo.el, fooo.el, etc.

While I do agree that 'fo#.el' matches 'fo##.el' ; the intended documentation was most likely the following : 

> ‘x##’
>    Matches one or more copies of the glob pattern x. Thus,‘fo##.el’ matches fo.el, foo.el, fooo.el, etc.
