It would not surprise me that the # character breaks the parser. The syntax of this line has evolved over the decades, while remaining backwardly compatible. It is a truly spectacular mashup of semicolons, spaces, quotes, and equal signs.
Have you tried wrapping the whole httpstatus portion in double-quotes? "httpsstatus;https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__foo-3Ab-23r-40baz.com-3B..."
Have you tried replacing the # with %23 ? I don't really expect it to work, but it's worth a try.
