Sorry, I don't get your point.

smb.conf:
[global]
   workgroup =  TEST
   security =  user


[public]
browseable=yes
comment=Public
guest ok = yes
path=/var/tmp/samba-test


root at mykerinos:~# smbclient -N //localhost/public
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[TEST] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.3.4]

So, no need to specify "security = share" or "map to guest = Bad
User".

In don't see any bug in there....
