(Dermot) & #61 not matching because of # characterby Dermot (Scribe) |

In an /x modified regex the # character is the comment
character. The & #61 which represents a space character
isn't matching. Instead the & is matching and the #61 to end
of line is seen as a comment. Subsequently $3 doesn't match
at all due to its optionality and the fact that [^;]+
is greedy.
