Firefox.
Nope, that was wrong. Period (".") is explicitly an unreserved character in URL syntax. But this does leave open the possibility that other punctuation marks might cause trouble.
The evidence is simpler (but more mysterious) than that. For some reason the presence of a period within the header text suppresses the generation (in the resulting web page) of the anchor tag which tells the browser where to scroll to.
How or why this happens is a mystery (to me). I don't see any way for a user to get around it. It doesn't seem like something that is "by design", so I'd still classify it as a bug.
