What's "(#   #)"?

It's an unboxed tuple, a type that is used internally (anything named with a # is GHC internals). You can't work with it normally (you need an extension to use the MagicHash), and it has a number of restrictions since most things require a constructor but an unboxed tuple doesn't have one.
