I cannot see any benefits there.
You can just separate public anonymous enum and private one.

private enum
{
    A = 1,
}
enum
{
    B = 2,
}

This has some drawbacks:

1) You have to write a new enum.
2) You cannot take advantage of the properties of anonymous enums.
3) Constants that belong together need to be defined at the same place.

I see it as an unnecessary limitation, each member can have its own type and its own initializer (even its own UDA), but not an access specifier. Note that due to Issue 10552 we can use neither syntax.

Language changes are enhancements, not bug fixes.
