Yes, they are. As far as I understand it, anacron makes sure that cron
jobs are run even if the machine is not up 24/7.

I guess they are. I wasn't sure at first whether anacron sends mail
itself or utilizes cron. When looking for answers, I stumbled across the
cron bugs mentioned. Mail from cron should have the proper content
header. Judging from the header of the mail I received (see below), I
guess that it was sent by anacron.

Sure. Here are the header and some lines from the mail I received,
somewhat edited to protect my privacy and save bandwidth:
