You're right, sorry. I guess it's not explicitly documented anywhere.
Basically, --enable-x means "enable x using defaults, don't try to
autodetect". That's why you're almost always better off without any
explicit --enable-x (except those marked as [disabled] by default in
configure). Perhaps you could submit a patch to add this explanation
to (all or any of) configure, README and install.xml?
