Hi Jesse Long story for short, this is a bug. As far as I can remember I wrote the tutorial based on an early 2.3.x version not having this bug. You can try to edit the config.xml file directly.
The authentication filter chain logic has been reworked completely for 2.3.x series and since this rework includes migration logic, I cannot backport to 2.2.x. If it is possible, have a look at the upcoming GeoServer 2.3.x version http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Latest You will see a lot of improvements. As an example, you can have chains with the same Ant pattern(s) responsible for different HTTP methods. (Anonymous auth for GET and POST, basic auth for PUT and DELETE). If its possible put your focus on 2.3.x.
