You have to implement an application-level reliable acknowledgement
of disconnect.  Not ideal IMHO, but that's the way it is.

I'd say that your expectation seems reasonable, but not something
that could be relied upon - really these ARE sequentially being shot
to the same port no matter how much ENet gives a multiplexed
view of it, so there's a hidden queue for various reasons.  Hm.
