This is called an empty anchor. It is always better and it is
recommended to avoid empty anchors.
E.g.: a good recommended way to create an anchor:
<h2><a name="section2">Section 2: How to create a link</a></h2>

This may be a normal fallback mechanism for a failure to reach the
targeted anchor and not a successful loading of the anchored position of
the page. If the anchor #position does not exist, then most/all browsers
will load the page at the top of the page anyway.
