Comment:

 Hashes remain at the browser level and are not sent to the server. That
 means there's no way for auth_redirect() to know there was a hash.

 There *are* ways around this, basically by allowing the redirect to occur
 at the JavaScript level. This is possible while still being secure. But,
 it's not very efficient, or clean, and doesn't give us much. We aren't an
 application that depends on hash-based URLs (such as one using hashes as
 an alternative to the HTML5 History API), so I'm inclined to pass on
 changes here.
