Do you also see this?
Try this call with a local html file with a fragment appended
to the url (e.g. #top):
(browse-url "file://localhost/stuff/a.html#top")
For me the #top part is not there when the URL is opened in
the browser.
Does it happen only on Windows? Is there a workaround for this?

Yes.

Use a proper OS? :)
Or the wiki page has a suggestion.

Thanks. It's a pity it doesn't work by default. For example
one could write a function which opens documentation for
symbols under the cursor using anchors in the url, so the
browser jumps to the specific part of the doc describing
the symbol. It won't work for Windows out of the box.
Maybe a warning message should be added to browse-url,
so the user knows he has to change browse-url configuration,
otherwise URLs won't be opened at the proper place.
browse-url could print this message in the echo area
if # is used in the URL and the default browser is
invoked on Windows.
