Ironically this is one and the same issue, but you're right that it's
more major than I made it out to be.  See RTCYEARA2.  My theory is
that to account for more possible year values they needed all 8 bits.
That meant that the enable bit needed to move to a different register.
...and once you moved one enable you might as well move them all, I
guess.
