Correct.  ISO C99 6.10 Preprocessing directives, Description:

	A preprocessing directive consists of a sequence of
	preprocessing tokens that begins with a # preprocessing token
	that (at the start of translation phase 4) is either the first
	character in the source file (optionally after white space
	containing no new-line characters) or that follows white space
	containing at least one new-line character, and is ended by
	the next new-line character.129)

It's not even bug.  Branden, are you OK to reassign this report to
X11, or to close it?
