Well, it looks like they don't work if there's more than one anonymous user on the wiki. :)
The user_newtalk table has a unique key on user_id, and all entries for anonymous users are keyed with user_id = 0. Once one gets in, no more anonymous users can be added.
I've changed it to a regular (non-unique) key, it seems to work now.

Oops, sorry about that, and thanks for the fix. There's another problem with the IP check (it can only go by the page title, and currently doesn't regex-check that), I'll fix that.
