Comment (by hlashbrooke):

 There's obviously still no movement here, but I've found a way that seems
 to work with regards to working around this issue. If you delete the meta
 field called `_encloseme` from the post then `do_enclose()` won't run and
 the enclosure field won't be deleted. It took quite a bit of searching
 through core to find this, but a simple solution is to run
 `delete_post_meta( $post_id, '_encloseme' );` as early as possible on the
 `save_post` hook for any post where you would like to keep the `enclosure`
 custom field.

 That might not be the cleanest solution, but it looks like it works
 consistently for me until this is sorted out in core.
