I want to get system emails telling me a comment posted by an anonymous user is awaiting approval.

I have set up premissions to allow anonymous users to post comments, and created an action to send an appropriately titled email, and also a trigger to send it when a new comment is posted.

My problem is that I get this email when an authenticated user posts a new comment (which they can do without approval required). How can I configure it so that I only get notified when an anonymous user posts a comment that's awaiting approval?

In the Comments section in Trigger, the only option is this:

Email: Comment Awaiting Approval

and there seems to be no way to specifiy that this should only apply when the certain user type posts a comment.

I'd install the rules module which gives you conditions which you can specify. So you can set up the rule as follows: When a new comment is saved, send the notification email on condition that the user who posted the comment has the role 'anonymous user'.

Yes, Rules.
I'm not sure but almost an year ago, I did the same. But the user's email address was not replaced by tokens.
If you got something wrong, try to load the comment manually by adding an extra action.
