Where do you see any connection between anycast and ignoring DNS TTL?
Or is this just part of your usual rant against anycast DNS service?

We use anycast for our caching (recursive) DNS servers. It works well
for us, and we certainly intend to continue to use it. The actual DNS
software used is Nominum CNS and BIND 9.3.1, both of which honor the
DNS TTL.
