 This bug was introduced by Ticket
 [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6840 6840].  I and many other
 people only wanted specific fields added as an enclosure (like media files
 for podcasting) and have added those enclosures as custom fields.  Now any
 time we edit those hundreds of posts, or create a new post, those custom
 fields are deleted by this "bug fix" and there is no way around it without
 changing code in the functions.php file and then having to redo it anytime
 an update comes out.

 Was there no thought put into the great idea of "let's delete any
 enclosure field that doesn't have a link in the body of a post"?  Wasn't
 the whole idea of custom fields originally for things like enclosures?
