Description:
See bug 670 comment 1 Part I b) and c), and see bug 670 comment 3.

If a section with header "[[foo]] bar" in a page titled "baz" is edited, on
saving the expected URL loaded is:

http://website.org/pathtowiki/baz#foo_bar

but the actual URL loaded is:

http://website.org/pathtowiki/baz#.5B.5Bfoo.5D.5D_bar

The anchor generated for "[[foo]] bar" is actually #foo_bar and not
#.5B.5Bfoo.5D.5D_bar and hence the current behaviour is wrong.

Similar things probably happen if the section header has certain special
characters or formatting, e.g. "foo ''bar''"
