no idea where LyX is seeing it.
The URL in your first message ends with "#guidance", so there is indeed
a hash symbol. I don't know why pdflatex would think it was a macro,
unless there's something else in your document that relates to it.
If you haven't already done so, try compiling my minimal example to make
sure that both instances of the URL break cleanly (and, IMHO, at
reasonably aesthetic places).
Your example and screen shot showed angle brackets (<>) surrounding the
URL. I put those in my document, but I put them outside the URL and
hyperlink insets. Don't know if that's what you are doing (and whether
it makes any difference).

Anyway, this document is for my own reference since printing the web
page
uses 4- or 6-point type in the resulting .pdf file. My older eyes
can't read
it so I copied text from the web page to a LyX document and included
the URL
for reference.
Thanks,
