There are two settings affecting this:

 1) the character pairs: http://manual.macromates.com/en/preferences_items#paired_characters — for prose (e.g. HTML) the ' character has not been setup to be paired, since it’s more likely used for contractions.
 2) word characters: http://blog.macromates.com/2012/clever-completion/ — the pairing is disabled when typing in front of a word character. Since # is not setup as a word character, you get the pairing even when typing in front of that character. It probably doesn’t make sense to change that though.

There is no global preference (like in 1.x) but you could setup an empty array (see above link to the 1.x manual).
