My previous boss gave me a bonus sometimes when I did not technically deserve it, according to the document that ostensibly described my bonus requirements. I wasn't way off, I just didn't actually meet the requirement stated.

As mentioned previously, I suspect it was partly to give me an under-the-radar raise.

My new boss has asked me to evaluate myself, as I mentioned, according to those same criteria.

Evaluate the way your old boss would. If the previous manager thought you deserved an unofficial pay raise, why wouldn't the new manager?

I think managers expect a little exaggeration on self evaluations. Achievement inflation is rampant in the corporate world.

If you feel guilty about it, just tell the new boss when you are going over the review that you used the same criteria as your old boss so that he'd get an apples to apples comparison. I wouldn't offer up any more information than that unless he asked.
