1. dragging the anchor moves the whole guide (and the anchor with it)
2. pressing Shift and dragging the anchor moves it along the guide

(while the guide itself stays in place) 3) dragging the guide anywhere outside the anchor rotates it around the anchor 4) pressing Shift and dragging the guide outside the anchor bypasses rotation and moves the whole guide (as in 1.)

No, I think simply dragging the guide anywhere must move it, not rotate. Otherwise too many people will be upset by the change. Let's limit rotation to Shift+drag. In that case you can display the anchor only while Shift is pressed, thus reducing visual clutter and preventing "what's this" questions.
