Could this be a Sybil attack? Can the anonymity of users be compromised by an attacker that owns some great portion of the nodes?

  Yes. Low-latency networks can allow you to perform timing analysis.

  It may be an attack on the network in the DOS sense, but it should not compromise anonymity because these bots are simply acting as clients, not relay (or exit) nodes.
