Are these actions built-in to Asterisk, or are they enabled through 
configuration files?

Is there a way to disable them, so that they don't interfere with my 
customization, or do I have to find an alternative (such as *NN rather than 
#NN extensions)?

At the moment, I'm not too concerned about how other PBX systems handle the 
octothorpe; if I use the IP04 this way, the "end users" won't see it as a 
PBX, but just how I (the eccentric computer geek) have wired my phones.

Fortunately (I guess), I'm not using Freepbx.

The IP04 is an Asterisk appliance (see http://www.rowetel.com/ucasterisk/) 
that you can configure with up to four FXO and/or FXS modules. It includes an 
ethernet port for VoIP and network application connectivity. It comes with a 
simple example dialplan, and seems aimed at tinkerers. AFAIK, it does not use 
Freepbx.
