Creation of self is not anomalous:
  1. God knows each self
  2. The self is known then its reaction is known for any situation
  3. We are simple puppet in this picture
In this scenario we are only unaware of our being so we could not be aware of reaction to any situation and have a delusional belief of free will.

Creation of self is anomalous:
  1. This means that God does not know what it creates
  2. The self is not known so its reaction on a situation could depend on the self
  3. We are not simple puppet in this picture
We have free will in this picture, but how God could create something that does not know.
 
God knows something before it happens.

He is outside time. All the past and future is like a single frame of a film to him.

Having started the universe he knows how it will turn out.

Human free will is possible, not because God forces man to make choices, but because in his eternity he can see what man will do. God doesn’t wait to see what will happen because this would be learning, but his omniscience is absolute and learning would be a change in his knowledge. God doesn’t change. It this weren’t the case, God wouldn’t be God and we wouldn’t be here.
 
OP starts with the false assumption that this is an either - or question.

I assume two different by two different cases one anomalous self and the other one non-anomalous showing that each leads to a problem.

I am aware of such an answers. My question from you is whether creation of self is anomalous or not.
