href="#" causes a new page request when query string is present on url

I'm having trouble sorting out why the behavior is different between 2 modx sites I've setup.

I am using base href in the head of both sites.
I've got an in page link that looks like: <a href="[[~[[*id]]? &scheme=`full`]]#">My Link</a>.

On my newest site Revo 2.2.5, This link results in a new GET request any time the current page has a query string present.

ex:

url: http://mysite.com/testpage.html?test=123
click link: Loads http://mysite.com/testpage.html# but issues a new request (Reloads page)

url: http://mysite.com/testpage
click link: Loads http://mysite.com/testpage.html# and does not issue a request.

Now on my Revo 2.2.1 site...

url: http://mysite.com/testpage?test=123
click link: Loads http://mysite.com/testpage.html# and does not issue a request.

url: http://mysite.com/testpage
click link: Loads http://mysite.com/testpage.html# and does not issue a request.

The new page request breaks some multi-step javascript forms I have so I was hoping to find a way to prevent the reload of the page when clicking the link.

Thanks,

# is used for permalink.
Usually it has name, eg: #picture1, #picture2
Why do you use that?

Is it testpage/ (container) or testpage (no extension) or testpage.html ?
