It looks like a feature to me : this way when you copy the address it links directly to the right comment. Of course this comes at the expense of a working back button.

The page is using Location.replace[0] to update the URL and replaces the current history entry without affecting back/forward behavior on pretty much any browser.
The one downside is that the URL may no longer point to the comment you were originally linked to.
