I note that when I create and name a new classifier role, if I give it the name "Mustang:Car" with ObjectName:ClassName, it adds a final colon and doesn't underline it as an object name. How can I add both of these aspects? How can I create anonymous objects of a Class, with an initial colon?

I think you forgot to type the "/" in front. The right syntax is: 
"/Mustang:Car".

In the menu, select File -> Project Properties -> Notations -> Use 
guillemets.
You can then enter <<stereotype>> on the diagram and it shows as 
«stereotype».
My keyboard has them, but it is a extremely rare layout...
On Windows, as you can see in the System Tool "Character Map": key them 
in as Alt+0171 for « and Alt+0187 for ».
