You've two issues

  1. The # character is reserved as the start of a fragment identifier so even the non-image parts of your marker URL are invalid. Any # characters should be replaced by %23

  2. An image cannot have external references so you'll need to base64 encode the inner png image so the image would become 

    <image xlink:href="data:image/png;base64,iVBOR...etc" />
