To escape the "#", try \%23 with an [NE,L] flag on the rule.

RewriteRule index\.php index.php\%23block_1 [NE,L]

I believe the error is because you're specifying an internal (Non-HTTP) redirect, which happens to send apache into a redirect loop.

Try:

RewriteRule index\.php index.php#block_1 [NE,R]

Because browsers never send the anchor part of the URL string to the server, you cannot test for it, so this will likely cause an infinite HTTP redirect loop for the client.

You will likely have to redirect to a second page, like this.

RewriteRule index\.php otherpage.php#block_1 [NE,R]

The mod_rewrite documentation explains it all.
