This observed behavior was the intent of the patch.  The gcc trunk gives this
additional error for your testcase:

error: `typedef enum <anonymous> e1' does not refer to the unqualified 
   type, so it is not used for linkage

You want to write

  enum e1 { v11=1, v12=2 } __attribute__ ((packed));

instead, so that the attribute applies to the enum rather than the typedef.  If
you want to use "e1" without "enum" in C, you can then write

  typedef enum e1 e1;
