Since its a final class, its not possible to subclass it, which is why I wondered aloud earlier about the choice to make it protected in a final class. ;-). I'll see if the other way you suggested (rewrite) gives me access to the terms we need.
We chain together multiple custom built filters... I am just overriding the filter.getDocIdSet() method and using the TermsEnum API to filter things we need from our index in a customized way. I should say its more the "custom" part than the "performant" part which is the reason why we want to use the TermsEnum api. BTW, I compiled a private Lucene core jar after changing the method to public and it seemed to work fine.
