This is very likely the result of an authentication...optimization?...done
by the security machinery:  if the resource requires only Anonymous
permission to access, then no further security checks are done,
including identification of the user.  This leads to various unexpected
behaviors, presumably this among them, and there has been at least
one motion to change this behavior.  I don't know if it has made it
into the Fishbowl yet or not.
