I didn't want to go into all detail with the description, but indeed: URI fragments ('#') are not ever sent to the server - instead, the MF WG has decided to transfer the information of the URI fragment in HTTP headers.

The "#track=video" fragment string is stripped by the browser, and never received by the server. The Firefox plugin gets the information to the server by adding a track specifier header in the GET request, as required by the Media Fragments spec. “Then, the server, upon receiving a request such as video.ogv#track=video can redirect that to video.ogv?track=video and actually serve a new resource that satisfies the needs.
