Well, the code is now working and the answer is Yes, the ENQ ***is*** released. I am allocating a dataset with SVC 99 DISP=NEW and FREE=CLOSE, and writing into and the closing it. Then I am submitting a job that allocates the dataset with JCL DISP=SHR and waiting for the job to run -- and it all works as intended.
