I've never had an issue with world anchor corrupting maps, but have had the teleport teather do so. Can't speak for dimensional anchor since I don't use it.

I run an SMP server, and we use world anchors a lot. I put them down and pick them up quite frequently (and have a machine that does the same with the minecart version from railcraft). Every time I pump oil wells off with wireless pipes, send an MFS cart down the rail system, or use a tunnel bore, one is used (and removed when finished).

Latency / lag isn't really a bug...IMO it seems more like something to be expected. The game normally manages its load by unloading chunks when they aren't needed. Anchors defeat this.
