   I've just tried sending a pingback from

   http://hearablog.com/site/7/Pablo-s-site-Music-for-coding#15

   to my blog at

   http://pupeno.com/blog/music-for-coding/

   and it failed with error 17: The source URL does not contain a link to the target URL, and so cannot be used as a source.

   I've tried again with

   http://hearablog.com/site/7/Pablo-s-site-Music-for-coding

   removing the anchor, and it worked. Why is WordPress claiming the other url not to have the link, it clearly does. Is this a bug in WordPress? The pingback spec clearly shows this should work. Is this some general behavior I should expect of other sites as well?
