I ended up knowing this mostly because we use custom permissions w/ SSDT (to handle multiple environments and based on Jamie Thomson's work). Without including the "GRANT CONNECT" statement, we get those wonderful arrows. I'd left them out for a while and caught it when publishing our changes resulted in no access to the affected databases. Many edits later, we were good to go again after each publish operation. Of course before that I assumed login/user mismatch or some similar root cause, but a simple GRANT CONNECT fixed all and was much easier to implement.

Andy, I just read through the complete explanation you gave with this question. The historic background about your friend was very interesting.

Agree......

My 2 cents is that I enjoyed the format of the question. Shows the creative touch that so often has to be suppressed in the tyranny of the urgent!

Interesting.

When I deny connect permission to a login and then refresh the view in ssms I get no little red arrows. Maybe it only happens for users to which SQL logins are mapped, and not for users to whech windows logins are mapped? Seems very strange.
