I hadn't even thought of that. Here are two observations that I don't think have been mentioned yet. To answer my own question, it doesn't look like there is a way for anons by bypass the redirect. At least, there is nothing obvious and the "?redirect=no" that MediaWiki uses for redirect pages also doesn't work. Anons can still, however, access the image on vignette via the same links registered users would.
 * 1) The image name displayed by the lightbox becomes regular text instead of a link to the file page.
 * 2) Clicking the info icon in the lower right of the image (which links to the file page) seems to always take you to the lightbox on the homepage even if the image is used on a page.
