In your example this brings down the embed HTML length from 1027 to 873
characters; I don't think that makes much of a difference.

A percent-encoded fragment in an URL in a href property does not seem like
particularly risky to me.

> - Nicer, shorter backlinks?

The one location where that is exposed to the user is the status bar of the
browser where the URL is displayed when hovering over the link. Modern browsers
typically truncate that to ~70 characters. For Commons, that leaves about 40
characters for the file name; there is a tendency to use long and descriptive
file names (the one in your example is 60 characters), so again, it wouldn't
make much difference. 

> - No pointless duplication of the filename?

It's not pointless; it opens MediaViewer, so that the image is displayed in a
nicer format than the file page's default layout. That said, the duplication
could be avoided by doing something like
