A user sent me an email noting:

I was using eww and shr 25.1 and found that shr is not handling # hash in-file
references properly on URLs.  From looking at the code, it looks like when it
encounters a matching name within an <a> tag, it tries to add a text
property for later matching but the property value is a string and text
property values are compared with eq, so this will never match.

Hash references can refer to id="string" attributes and could occur in <div>
tags as well.

[...]

I have verified that this bug is present in Emacs 26, too.  This used to
work at some point but is apparently broken now.

And it now works again on master.
