There are good technical explanations of the behaviour in the comments. And the observed behaviour is that only subsequent queries get put in the hash instead of the query.
The why is also addressed by the comments (IE only got support for pushState after the solution was already built).
Besides, for a long time, Google added intermediate pages when you clicked through a search result, adding the appropriate referrers right back in.
I don't think you need to attribute this behaviour to malice when a simple technical explanation suffices.
