You need to do some URL encoding here and/or possibly something extra in the view. The anchor portion of the URL (the part following the "#") is not sent to the server when the URL is submitted. This is arguably somewhat of a flaw in the way HTTP URI's are interpreted by browsers, but that's the way things work, so we have to work with it. You can send URLs containing anchor elements from the server to the browser, but browsers won't send the anchor to the server. As a first step, try percent-encoding the "#" (%23). That might then work out of the box. If it doesn't, the next step would be to add a wrapper around the login view and convert the URL you submit to the URL you want to redirect to before calling the real login() view and passing in the true target URL.
