Yes, the --enumerator-regex is applied on local, unqualified names.
It was initially meant to allow changing the naming convention (e.g.,
making all enumerators upper-case) rather than mangling individual
enumerator values, though people seem to be using them for this as 
well.

Probably the best way to address this would be to add an option
like --qualified-regex-names which makes all the --*-regex options
work on qualified names. I've added this to my TODO list.
