As a folowup here, Eli Zaretskii produced a solution.  The details are in
the thread for bug 46507.  There's  a patch in there for enriched.el which
i imagine will eventually work its way into debian, but anybody who wants
to patch their own system can just copy the lines he modified into their
enriched.el.
