Same happens in CVS HEAD as well. This is really confusing and I have no 
real (good) idea how would you solve in a way that you can still access 
anchors and the file. One way would be what Thiago said in the first 
reply that if you give "file:///" then it treats like an URL (and jumps 
to the anchor) and without file:/// it simply goes to the file a#b, but 
this can be confusing as well.
 Treating the string from location bar differently depending on 
web-browsing and file managing mode would be a possible solution, but 
that also introduces some kind of inconsistency.
