It's probably because it's empty. Try opening a file first, so that
file-name-history is non-nil and then try M-x anything. It should work
then.

I'll look into it. BTW, I suggest using savehist.el It's really handy.
The problem didn't occur for me because of it.

Well, the default value of anything-sources is purely an example. The
set of candidates M-x anything shows is a matter of personal
preference, so you can configure it to show anything you want and
perform any action you want.
