Why is this happening?

Screenshot of Google Structured Data Testing Tool’s output

HTML shows: 

<meta content='http://www.costumingdiary.com/2015/05/freddie-mercury-robe-francaise.html' itemprop='mainEntityOfPage' itemscope='itemscope'/>

Structured Data Testing Tool output shows: 

http://www.costumingdiary.com/2015/05/freddie-mercury-robe-francaise.html#__sid=md3

Update: It looks like it has to do with my breadcrumb list. But still, why is it happening, and is it wrong?

I don’t know where the fragment #__sid=md3 is coming from, but as the SDTT had some quirks with BreadcrumbList in the past, it might also be a side effect of this.

But note that if you want to provide a URL as value for the mainEntityOfPage property, you must use a link element instead of a meta element:

<link itemprop="mainEntityOfPage" href="http://www.costumingdiary.com/2015/05/freddie-mercury-robe-francaise.html" />

(See examples for Microdata markup that creates an item value, instead of a URL value, for mainEntityOfPage.)

If the URL you want to provide is unique you can use the itemid property. I was confronted with mainEntityOfPage by the tool after the latest update. And using Google's example I used the following code

<meta itemscope itemprop="mainEntityOfPage" itemType="https://schema.org/WebPage" itemid="https://blog.hompus.nl/2015/12/04/json-on-a-diet-how-to-shrink-your-dtos-part-2-skip-empty-collections/" />

And this show up correctly in the Structured Data Testing Tool results for my blog
