I remember giving a different url as an example, but no matter. The
point is that w3m and emacs-w3m do correctly display the url, and the
error message is encountered at some point after the url is correctly
displayed, when emacs-w3m attempts to find the anchor in order to place
POINT there. In the OP's case, the page content including the anchor
itself is constructed by some javascript, so emacs-w3m correctly
displays a blank page and cannot find the non-existent anchor. Hence,
not a bug.
