SharePoint 2013: bookmark link to word-document doesn't work

I created a link to a Word (.docx) file using the bookmark option in SharePoint 2013:

The document opens, but not at the specified bookmark. However, I do not think the issue is SharePoint specific, as the issue persisted when I created a simple html file with a bookmark link like this:

<a name="#bookmark" href="document.docx">link</a>

I also tried creating the bookmark like this:

<a href="document.docx#bookmark">link</a>

But the behavior is still the same - document opens, but not at specified bookmark. What could cause this malfunction in the bookmark functionality?

I'm running Windows 7 with Office 2013. Same issue with IE 11 and Chrome.
