I wouldn't regard this as an example of anacolouthon, since there is no real change in construction; as the commentaries note, "quas ... non" is the equivalent of "omnes." I've been checking the indices of various Virgilian commentaries in search of examples. Page notes one at 11.554 "telum 552 has no verb to govern it, but is picked up by huic and a new construction introduced." Here is the passage: telum immane, manu ualida quod forte gerebat bellator, solidum nodis et robore cocto, huic natam, libro et siluestri subere clausam, implicat atque habilem mediae circumligat hastae. Williams' commentary on Aeneid V notes a controversial case around line 708: "or to put it another way *senior Nautes* is left, by an anacolouthon, without a construction." I gather that scholars have tried punctuating the passage to remove the difficulty; in any case, Williams commends Henry's commentary here as "demolishing" the arguments of previous scholars, and I won't transcribe it in full.
