Many new users expect authenticated users to have all permissions given
to anonymous users, but this isn't actually how the system works - by
design. See http://drupal.org/node/103348.


The following clarification in the docs would be helpful.


======
Although all roles you create yourself receive any permissions you give
to authenticated users automatically, neither roles you create yourself
nor the authenticated user role receives permissions given to anonymous
users. If you check any of the Access Control boxes for anonymous users,
make sure you also check the equivalent box for authenticated users, or
wacky behavior results.
