Test case:

<script language="JavaScript">
setInterval(function (){

},400);
</script>
<a href="http://google.com/">click me</a>

(if you have too fast connection, set interval to lower value)

    As for me it is not a bug. Chrome begins loading of google.com and in load process interval-function changes url back to old one (http://mysite.com#hash123123) and chrome breaks google.com loading and loads new url(http://mysite.com#hash123123)

    Workaround for this case – add onClick handler for <a> and in this handler stop interval
