I somehow missed this, and was guided by "Note that enblend is no
longer optional with hugin-0.7.0" on
http://hugin.sourceforge.net/download/.

Stitching does not work if the respective option is not checked, the
dialogue is somehow messed up (BL Blended panorama, RI remapped
images. x=option set)

BL | RI
---+---------------
x  |  ?   Run nona first, producing multiple aligned tiffs, then run
   |      enblend on these.
---+----------------
   |  x   Run nona, producing multiple aligned tiffs, but not a stitched
   |      image.
---+----------------
   |      Do nothing.         
---+----------------

According to the help RI should decide whether the intermediate images
are kept, I do not know whether this works when BL is checked, since
running enblend does not work, due to the bug.
