The cause of the problem is related to EXTERNAL .CSS DOCUMENTS.

For whatever reason, when Safari is prompted to load the external css, it
“pauses” the process of displaying the page until the css document has finished
classifying how things are supposed to look.

Safari does not, however, cease it’s attempt to load the anchor target on the
page.

So, while css is holding the page layout in it’s grasp, Safari aims to find
something which doesn’t yet exist. Hence, nothing happens (but the page sure
ends up looking pretty).
