When you're storing a script-defined enum in a dictionary, it doesn't implicitly 'cast' to an int.. retrieving it as an int (which, logically, is what it is) returns a bogus value.

When you're storing an application-defined enum in a dictionary and passing the dictionary by handle to a function, you cannot retrieve values as the application-defined enum, you have to do it as an int (in order to get the correct value).
