I call this one FUD.

It isn't either well known, or documented (that I've ever found).  I
too am on GMail and I've never yet not received any email.  I *have*
seen quite a few list emails arrive in Junk however, until the system
is trained.

Now Hotmail, it *IS* documented that for Hotmail emails that MS view
as "junk" are often just dropped on the floor.  I've even confirmed
this myself, more than once.

The most important things here are:

1) Both Anne and I are on GMail, I'm seeing the emails fine
2) I've CCd Anne on 2 emails and emailed her direct on 2 - she hasn't
responded to or seen any of these

I'm strongly of the opinion that Anne is neglecting to check her Junk
mail folder.  I'll be trying a non GMail account to contact her later.
