You can still specify whatever line width you want, including those less than 1 point; you just can't do so with the goofy slider on the tool bar. While using an Object Style is the preferred solution for the original poster, here is an alternative approach:
1) Make sure the Tools palette is displayed (View > Toolbars > Graphics Toolbar). 2) Set the desired border width and pen properties on an anchored frame by choose Graphics > Object Properties. 3) With the anchored frame still selected, press the Shift key and choose Graphics > Pick up Object Properties. This will "load" the selected frame's properties as the default on the Tool palette. 4) Select another anchored frame and click the "Set Pen Pattern" button and "Set Line Width" button on the Toolbar. Click the buttons on the left, not the sliders on the left.

Copying from earlier versions hadn't occurred to me, a good idea. I guess there'll have to be hairlines on them there reference pages from now on. Why would the >1 pt option be removed? Strange notion, that.

Our publication style requires a black hairline (.5 line weight) for anchored frames surrounding illustrations. Now it appears that "1" is the lowest width available on the slider bar when adding a new frame. How do I set my line weights to allow this thinner line as a default? At this point we've resorted to copying and pasting .5 frames from 2015 files.
