i swear i tested this before i replied...

seems like a bug to me.  the spec is pretty clear:

       6.7.2.2  Enumeration specifiers

       Syntax

       [#1]

               enum-specifier:
                       enum identifier-opt { enumerator-list }
                       enum identifier-opt { enumerator-list , }
                       enum identifier

               enumerator-list:
                       enumerator
                       enumerator-list , enumerator

               enumerator:
                       enumeration-constant
                       enumeration-constant = constant-expression

       Constraints

       [#2] The expression that defines the value of an enumeration
       constant shall be an integer constant expression that has  a
       value representable as an int.
