$.address.hash() ignores url #fragment upon initial page load

[atomless]

Currently the plugin seems to miss the fact that a page is loaded with an existing fragment. I've gone through the documentation on your site to try to determine if I'm doing something wrong but the initial set up is not clear to me. Also, after a page loads with an initial fragment - subsequent navigation using links with fragment urls causes multiple hashes like example.com/#/#grid

which seems wrong.
