I was having this problem as well. My situation allowed me to create a window unbind event that set the hash with the value I wanted it too as the user browser to the next page or refreshed. This worked for me, but not sure it will work for you.

With jquery, I did:

if($.browser.webkit){
    $(window).unload(function() {
        top.window.location.hash = hash_value;
    });
}else{
    top.window.location.hash = hash_value;
}

Technically you don't need to do the webkit check, but I thought for people who use firefox, it might be nice to see the correct hash value before they refresh the frameset.
