There probably is.

As you may recall, I wrote these tests very quickly back in May based on
information that we had at that time from Runa.  She had devoted
significant effort to checking that features were enabled and disabled
properly for anonymous users and for logged-in users, so the tests cover
both conditions in great detail.

Now that ULS is more mature it might make sense to make the tests shorter
and spend less detail on parity for anonymous and logged-in users.

Should we open a Bugzilla ticket to refactor ULS tests for duplication
between anonymous and logged-in users?
