I really struggle with how Xpages and the ACL work together.  I have a form that I want anyone to be able to use without authentication.  Anonymous in ACL has AUTHOR access with create.  There are no Authors fields on the form.  I have a Save/Submit button that does 2 simple actions:

(1) Save document
(2) Open page (same page) with target document set to New Document
 
I get a 500 Error when submitted.  When I look in the logs I see a You are not authorized error.  If I switch anonymous to EDITOR it works.  The behavior is not what I expected.  Perhaps someone can explain.

 If you are reloading the existing saved document with anonymous user set to author level access and there is no author field on the document then you would have to have editor level access in order to "read" it.  Seems like your second command is not creating a new document but reloading the first one.
 
That's the exact same way it works in Notes/Domino.

Yes I agree with this reply. Try creating a new document and it should work fine.
