I'm not sure of the issue here, but the URL example in #921 is kinda broken 
(and doesn't lead to a valid page)

The first # in a URI delimits the fragment part of the URI (so it terminates 
the path part of the URI). Also # is not allowed in a fragment so a URI with 
more than one # is invalid. If you want more than one it must be encoded.

That's just the definition of URIs, I'm not sure at all what URLWithString will 
do with such an URL but I suspect it's failing and returning nil.

I also don't know how this relates to Tim's problem, just trying to add info I 
do know :)
