Yep, it's broken!  But I'm absolutely sure that it's ok in the current
anything-config.el.  So it seems that you've got a outdated and broken
anything-config.el in a directory in your `load-path' which comes before
the directory of the new anything-config.el.  So the broken one get's
loaded and the new one won't be loaded because it's already provided.
(And even if you'd load it explicitly you wouldn't change the broken
defvar'ed values...)

Try to `locate' and delete it and restart emacs.
