The current behaviour is caused by FrameLoader::shouldScrollToAnchor
in WebCore/loader/FrameLoader.cpp.

Scrolling to an anchor is explicitly excluded for a frameset, the reason is given in the comments: "we don't want to just scroll if a link from within a frameset is trying to reload the frameset into _top."

In Firefox a link from within the frameset can reload the frameset, but only as long as the link contains no hash.

ie   <a href="index.html" target="_top">Reload!</a>
will reload the frameset

but  <a href="index.html#" target="_top">Reload!</a>
will not.
