The Blogger entry anchors still aren't working for many people. This problem only applies to the current month, at least by my survey.
But I have the solution! Push the archive button on the toolbar and then pres republish all. This will create the archive equivalent of the front page or your current page. Now your entry anchored links should work. Don't forget to publish!
