Here's my guess:
Non-opera browsers ask for www.../all.html, get a redirect, and
maintain the #acc anchor locally.
Opera browsers ask for www.../all.html, get a redirect, and discard
the #acc anchor locally.
Browsers don't send the anchor over the wire in a request.

I meant to add that I'm taking Robert's word about the actual
behavior, not describing my understanding of how the browsers actually
behave.
