For lounges, I've only had bad experiences with EN flights. Have they really not bothered attending to these inconsistencies yet? According to the M&M website, all should be ok. The fare classes are listed there, it doesn't say that EN coded flights are excluded.
I suppose it could be somewhat similar to EW, miles and perks, but only for M&M status members. Since EN is a fully integrated M&M airline, but it is not in Star Alliance.
