Description

Seeing a lot of events pop up with a null `anonid` field -- doesn't seem to be correlated to mapid

```
{ event: 'layer.tileload',
url: 'https://b.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/{mapid}/15/9642/12273@2x.png?access_token={token}',

Research direction

Start by tracing how browser events are assembled and where the anonid field is assigned for layer.tileload events. Compare events with null anonid against mapid and other event payloads; done means identifying and correcting the cause, with a regression check for anonid presence.
