Yes to both questions.

At the point where Anonymous Access is enabled, the IUSR_<machine> account
appears (automatically) with the password included in hidden format.

The same IUSR account and settings are used for the other sites, all
inheriting the same permissions.

The IUSR user account is set that the password never expires and that the
user cannot change the password.

I tried deleting the newly-created site and re-creating it through the
wizard again, but to no avail.

I've tried googling this, but the situations all seem to involve sites where
Windows authentication is desired. One response suggested that the IUSR
account's password had changed, but that would affect the other sites as
well.

I was hoping that this was one of those things that someone else has heard
of.

Thanks

Don't have IIS 6 myself (use IIS 5), but have you made sure IIS is set to
control the password for the annonymous account?, and IUSR_<machine> has
permissions for the folder containing the site's files?
