On the desktop this bug exists in safari & webkit standalone but not in chrome.  

On the mobile it exists in android and ios.

It should probably be handled according to 
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/Fragment/draft-bos-http-redirect-00.txt

I have setup a test URL

http://web.cip.gatech.edu/webkit/redirection-fragment/base.html

which redirects to 

http://web.cip.gatech.edu/webkit/redirection-fragment/fragment.html#somefragment

and then is redirected to

http://web.cip.gatech.edu/webkit/redirection-fragment/final.html

which should have the final loaded page be

http://web.cip.gatech.edu/webkit/redirection-fragment/final.html#somefragment

That was a more complex example but covers the edge cases that should be used in testing

because 

http://web.cip.gatech.edu/webkit/redirection-fragment/base.html#newfragment

should finally result in 

http://web.cip.gatech.edu/webkit/redirection-fragment/final.html#somefragment

because the inclusion of the fragment from the server redirect should override my local requested one but without the inclusion it should use my local one

But the basic example of using

http://web.cip.gatech.edu/webkit/redirection-fragment/fragment.html#otherfragment

with a redirect resulting in  

http://web.cip.gatech.edu/webkit/redirection-fragment/final.html#otherfragment

is what this bug is about.

a simple .htaccess i am using

.htaccess
# Redirection
Redirect /webkit/redirection-fragment/fragment.html http://web.cip.gatech.edu/webkit/redirection-fragment/final.html
Redirect /webkit/redirection-fragment/base.html http://web.cip.gatech.edu/webkit/redirection-fragment/fragment.html#somefragment
