Yes, this makes it basically impossible to communicate with Anons about their edits.

I've taken to editing their "Talk page archive" in order to trigger an old-style "you have new messages" notification.

As many people as possible should use Special:Contact to remind staff about this.

(I first reported this over a year ago, but the more reports there are, the more likely is it that it will get fixed.)
