"security = share" is deprecated and not recommend

you're going to make Jeremy wish he removed support for it :)

move to "security = user"

Setting it to 'user' causes mess-windows to ask for a username and
password to access the *anoymous* (guest ok = yes) printers and share!

That will happen if you don't set it up properly.

Yeah. I added 'map to guest = bad user'. The anonymous shares are
working. Windows now asks for a username AND password for the protected
shares, but cannot connect, claiming the share is already open under a
different user (or some such nonsense).

My notes for a working guest share with user security is:
========================================================
Global:
security = user
map to guest = Bad User
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
-- no 'valid users =' line --

Share:
guest ok = yes
-- no 'valid users =' line --
..may also want..
guest only = yes
..and if desired..
force group = nobody
force user = nobody

For the username map (/etc/samba/smbusers in this case):
nobody = guest

..assuming "nobody" (a standard user in most distros I've run across)
is to be your "guest" user
========================================================

For the problem you know see, suggest closing all share connections
and rebooting the client. Then logon (if you're not going to
centralize authentication - ie. domain controller) with credentials
that match those of a samba user and try again.
