Yes that may break the ABI but fortunately the checking-abi-compatibility tool shows negative :) , thanks Ferruh' s guide.

That's very strange. An enum value is changed.
Why it is not flagged by libabigail?

I suspect this is because the enum is not referenced in any object...
all I see is an integer with a comment that it should be filled with
values from the enum.

I am not sure about the full context but David is right in theory.

If the enum is not reachable from a publically exported interface
(function or global variable) then it won't we considered as being part
of the ABI and changes to that enum won't be reported.

I am not sure if that is what is happening in this particular case,
though.

Cheers,
