The string after the hash is an anchor tag. HTTP user agents aren't supposed to include the anchor in the URI in requests. So it's not that HTTP::uri strips it off--the browser generally does. You can verify this behavior by using a browser plugin like HttpFox for Firefox or Fiddler.
Here's a quick confirmation using curl to make a command line request to the virtual server and logging of the HTTP::uri value:
curl -v '1.1.1.1/test.123'
< HTTP_REQUEST>: /test.123
curl -v '1.1.1.1/test.123my_anchor'
< HTTP_REQUEST>: /test.123my_anchor
