In any case, if the programmer knows than assert error is restricted to a

But all that does is working around the assert's behavior to ignore cleanups.
It is not "working around" anything unless you're trying to use a screwdriver as
a hammer. Cleanups are not appropriate after a program has entered an unknown state.
Maybe, when it's known, that a failure is not restricted, some different way of
failure reporting should be used?
assert() and enforce() both work as designed.
