The example score printed in the manual is produced by exactly the same
code (just click on the figure to see the corresponding .ly file, so the
manual
itself proves that the example works as it stands. You must have done
something
else wrong. Did you use LilyPond version 2.8.x? I just tried the example
using both
versions 2.8 and 2.9 without any problems. On the other hand, you are
right that
the # is redundant here and can be removed without changing the result.
Note also that the next stable version, 2.10, will appear very soon and
that only
the manual for the development series 2.9.x has been updated recently.
Therefore,
please cross-check with the latest development version manual before
reporting
a possible bug in the documentation.

I think I found an error in the lilypond documentation for 2.8.x,
although as I'm still quite new to lilypond there is a good chance
that it's my own misunderstanding...
Section 4.5 contains this snippet:
padText = #(define-music-function (parser location padding) (number?)
#{ \once \override TextScript #'padding = #$padding #})
Which seems to contain an extra # preceding $padding. I had to remove
it to get this example to work, and further examples seem to be
consistent with using only a $.
Thanks,
