This has a big red cross by it in the MMC snap-in. Any ideas which component(s) need to be enabled to protect it? It's not "secondary login" - at least not primarily.

Preset attached.
 
It's something under Network - beginning with the letter N

So far this works:
Network > Netlogon > Active Directory
System > Secondary login

But there's something else that is responsible for the "other user" box appearing on the logon screen.

Did you selected Skip UserOOBE in autounattend page but didn't add/create another account?
 
That's right - only added administrator account - but there's no user entry box after creating a user under Local Users and Groups post-OOBE.
 
I remember seeing that "Other user account" but probably the source is too slim, you can try "in steps" as I do, remove some components (crap) and make a backup, later remove unused components and make another backup an so on.
 
Yeah, the idea is to try to get the source as slim as possible without breaking the needed components. This issue is but a minor inconvenience as there's other ways around switching user.
 
Try this:
Find the user name with net user in command prompt, than add the removal command (net username /delete) to the end of post setup.
