The latter has, to my knowledge, always been the correct/supported
syntax.

Perhaps there was once support for people inadvertently including
a -mode suffix in a "mode:" file-local, but if so then that must
have been removed a while ago.  (I don't have an older version than
26.3 installed on this machine, but that certainly doesn't support
"mode: FOO-mode".)

I see that `enriched-mode' is a minor mode rather than a major mode,
though, so I'm guessing you were doing this in a version of Emacs
earlier than 24.1; either or both of these NEWS.24 entries may well
be relevant:

*** Using "mode: MINOR-MODE" to enable a minor mode is deprecated.
Instead, use "eval: (minor-mode 1)".

*** `set-auto-mode' now respects mode: local variables at the end
of files, as well as those in the -*- line.
