I'm really confused about what you think "disable" means.  If you disable
a builtin, that means you can no longer call it.

hobbit:~$ enable -n cd
hobbit:~$ cd /tmp
bash: cd: command not found

Not even if you prefix it with "builtin".

hobbit:~$ builtin cd /tmp
bash: builtin: cd: not a shell builtin

So, the loadable builtins are behaving consistently with the regular
builtins here.  Seems correct to me.
