Comment (by mcs):

 For what it's worth, it would be more consistent with HTTP's `Location`
 header to preserve fragment identifiers. From
 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-7.1.2:
  If the Location value provided in a 3xx (Redirection) response does
  not have a fragment component, a user agent MUST process the
  redirection as if the value inherits the fragment component of the
  URI reference used to generate the request target (i.e., the
  redirection inherits the original reference's fragment, if any).
 The RFC also include some examples. I don't think reusing the fragment
 component would be harmful in too many cases and we could leave it to the
 website maintainer to watch out for such problems.
