Navigating / scraping hashbang links with javascript (phantomjs)

I'm trying to download the HTML of a website that is almost entirely generated by JavaScript. So, I need to simulate browser access and have been playing around with PhantomJS. Problem is, the site uses hashbang URLs and I can't seem to get PhantomJS to process the hashbang -- it just keeps calling up the homepage.

The site is http://www.regulations.gov. The default takes you to #!home. I've tried using the following code (from here) to try and process different hashbangs.

if (phantom.state.length === 0) {
     if (phantom.args.length === 0) {
        console.log('Usage: loadreg_1.js <some hash>');
        phantom.exit();
     }
     var address = 'http://www.regulations.gov/';
     console.log(address);
     phantom.state = Date.now().toString();
     phantom.open(address);

} else {
     var hash = phantom.args[0];
     document.location = hash;
     console.log(document.location.hash);
     var elapsed = Date.now() - new Date().setTime(phantom.state);
     if (phantom.loadStatus === 'success') {
             if (!first_time) {
                     var first_time = true;
                     if (!document.addEventListener) {
                             console.log('Not SUPPORTED!');
                     }
                     phantom.render('result.png');
                     var markup = document.documentElement.innerHTML;
                     console.log(markup);
                     phantom.exit();
             }
     } else {
             console.log('FAIL to load the address');
             phantom.exit();
     }
}

This code produces the correct hashbang (for instance, I can set the hash to '#!contactus') but it doesn't dynamically generate any different HTML--just the default page. It does, however, correctly output that has when I call document.location.hash.

I've also tried to set the initial address to the hashbang, but then the script just hangs and doesn't do anything. For example, if I set the url to http://www.regulations.gov/#!searchResults;rpp=10;po=0 the script just hangs after printing the address to the terminal and nothing ever happens.
