Also, the plan was to install a new saddle. I got a compensated TUSQ saddle from StewMac. Unfortunately, the StewMac saddle was so much lower out of the box than the stock Enya saddle--a full 1/8"--that the action ended up too low to be usable. The Enya saddle is nearly 1/2" tall, which is too high, but the slot is so deep the StewMac saddle is too short. Which is too bad, because on the lower three strings that didn't fret out and I could at least check the intonation, it was much better than the stock, uncompensated saddle.

Hi Jeff
Perhaps a layer or two of credit card plastic will shim the new saddle to a workable height? Or the thickness of an under saddle piezo pickup?
Otherwise perhaps use the new saddle as a guide to file compensation ramps onto the original Enya Go saddle?
Cheers
