a) I could be confusing this with something else (it was a long time ago) but AFAIK this is due to IE7 replacing mere bookmarks in the HTML with complete URLs as a security measure (can't remember what this was supposed to fix but it made sense at the time). Therefore there's very little anyone can do about it.
b) You can just use a hyperlink (which is preferred way of navigating within your app and which fires off a history change for you). Anchors are really for going to another HTML page, not to another state internally (bookmark). Horses for courses.
