You are comparing apples and oranges. Anglican sacraments are not recognized as valid, specifically including ordinations. Those of the Oriental Orthodox are. That is all the difference in the world.

I will allow that the way Rome deals with Anglicans is curious since it seems Rome is more solicitous of the sensitivities of an increasingly heretical, or at least increasingly tolerant of heresy, Canterbury than it is of those of the particular churches of Oriental Orthodoxy.

True on the point of Sacraments. The Anglicans were ordained as Catholic priests, thus the Anglican orders were not recognized. So, on that point you are correct.
