"It's not a bug, it's a feature" I must admit that made me chuckle :)
But seriously, saying it's a feature would be like saying "you can't get to the login page because you've blocked unauthenticated users". Is there a simple way of allowing just this one page (and possibly the forgot username page) to be viewed by unauthenticated users, without allowing unauthenticated users full access? On a related note, if using the "block unauthenticated users" feature is not recommended, then what is the recommended way of blocking access to documents by unauthenticated users?

That is why it's really not recommended to tick that box.
