That's just light from Venus reflecting off swamp gas from a weather balloon. Perfectly ordinary.

To be fair, it could be absolutely anything. Yet if it does turn out to be anomalous, are we likely to be told about it?

"Absolutely anything" would of course include Greer and at least one of his marks with flashlights. Or Klingons even.
Probably some technical artifact, as in camera glitch or missing data, but yeah, it could be lots of things.
Edit: Hmmm. Upon actually following the link, I see it's pretty interesting. Seems to be something real reflecting light. Now to actually read the story. Heh.

It's Greer's alien friends responding to his attempts to communicate with them via flashlights. Seems like he was telling the truth after all.....
Some useful information from Jim Oberg, posted at ATS:
"Great discovery adventure, and I hope folks notice, strange images released immediately.
March 6 is not a boundary date, the probe is using an ion engine to slip into a stable orbit and is currently drifting past it and farther away and will then approach from down sun, with a crescent Ceres all that is visible.
It will wind up in a polar orbit, fortunately Ceres axis is only 4 deg to the ecliptic, and its day is 9 hours long, so almost all except close to the south pole [where it's now winter] will be visible."

Where is Richard Hoagland when we need him to explain how this fits into multi-dimensional physics?

I lean towards our imminent disovery of a bunch of shmucks like us, scraping out an existence on a cold dead pockmarked world, the last remnants of a once thriving society now reduced to huddling together in failing biodomes, flashing out an SOS to our probe with their solar farms, "Send us lots of recharegable batteries," they say & then later, "Are you the ones responsible for all the UFO's?"
I am fascinated with the bright spots because they do not get any dimmer as that particular face of Ceres rotates past the light source. Those 2 spots should get dimmer if they were just reflective surfaces. If it is not an artificial source of illumination, then it might be bioluminescence. My best guess so far....
Look at the gif NASA posted of the rotation here: NASA Spacecraft Nears Historic Dwarf Planet Arrival | NASA

It reminds me of the late Zechariah Sitchin theory on some type of ancient intelligence and technology which is not human technology and our universe could be littered with it and we might not identife due too our concepts of thought is constrained by our type of minds? The latest discoveries will grow with Titan Moon. If Ceres has historical value regarding finds they will go out there way to grab it and like the Moon HD pictures will never be released it seems of all the landings. Mind you they will never disclose to minions if it threatens religous institutions most likely.

Your wiki link said it has a big ocean for its size, think it was frozen.
edit not quite right description 'ocean'.
It has a surface area approximately 1.9% of Earth's dry land, slightly larger than the total land area of Argentina. Observations indicate that it contains large amounts of water ice,[2][3] about one-tenth of the total water in Earth's oceans.
the back of my envelope says thats alot of water for its size, earths dry land is one third of the planet.
Thats a planet that has 10% of earths ocean water contained on 2% of earths dry land.
It has occured to me that any squidgy lifeforms like us will need water like us, otherwise it wouldnt be so plentiful.

The "reflections/bioluminescence?" on Ceres have been an interesting story to follow. Thanks for the numbers, Manxman. It gives an interesting look at perspective, and a lot of water ice. Of course, perhaps the inhabitants (should there be such a thing) are under the water and we're seeing their massive, solar, water-heating or energy generating panels. ET gets credits for green energy.
Seriously, it's interesting how many stories have come out in the last few days about water ice on various moons; Enceladus being the latest.
