Thanks everyone for all your comments.  Yes, I believe you are all
correct about this having to do with the vignetting parameters.  I
haven't gone back and tried setting them to zero, but I did try
something that would have initially tipped me off to the badness about
to happen:  I hit the Preview Panorama button.  Duh.

I guess when I was first playing with this the other day, I figured
previewing the panorama wouldn't do me any good, since it was an
enfuse stack, not actually a panorama.  But looking at the Preview
window, the phantom ring was clearly visible as a result of the
geometry calculations.  Obviously it has nothing to do with enfuse,
since enfuse has not even run at that point.

Erik, I tried your suggestion of running enfuse directly instead of
trying to run it through hugin, and the results are very fine indeed!

Thanks for the tips, everyone...

 If you shot from a tripod you shouldn't need any control points since
 the images should be perfectly aligned. You still can do whatever
 correction you want on the ready enfused image, hence it would be
 best, you use enfuse only without hugin. If you are on windows you
 can use one of the enfuse droplets in the bin folder.

 You can even use the enfuse_align droplet to have the images aligned
 if they should be slightly mismatched.

 I don't know about other OS but in any case you can use enfuse from
 the command 
 line:http://wiki.panotools.org/Enfuseorhttp://enblend.sourceforge.net/enfuse.htm

Yes, the hugin radial lens distortion and vignetting optimisation 
simply doesn't work when you have a single stack of images - You 
need to have partially overlapping photos to be able to detect 
radial variations.

Hugin needs to be fixed to workaround this, but for now you need to 
either reset all lens distortion and vignetting parameters to zero, 
or load preset values saved in a lens .ini file.

I've spotted the same behavior with Enblend, while stitching a normal
panorama from two images with a slightly different exposure and white
balance (auto settings from digital point-and-shoot camera). It
happens seldom, and after some tweaking of parameters (can't remember
which) the effect was gone, at least visibly. I guess just like
Tennevin that it has to do with an overly active vignetting
correction, so playing around with that might do the trick.
