I dug in a bit and it appears that the 4.1+ behavior is this:

set term post
    sets the term to postscript with whatever values are current

set term post def
    sets the terminal to postscript with default values or
    resets post term values to defaults

set term post enh
    sets the terminal to enhanced postscript

set term post noenh
    sets the terminal to noenhanced postscript

set term post def enh
    throws an 'extraneous argument' warning and does nothing

enhanced/noehanced is not changed by def
