Indeed, the `:enable` thingy controls only whether the entry is present
in the (a) menu, whereas the `:filter` is obeyed by the keymap lookup code.

We could treat this as a feature request to make the keymap lookup code
obey `:enable` as well.  I remember thinking about doing it.  I can't
remember whether that would be easy to do but I can't think of a good
reason why it wouldn't be.
