I guess the difference is just a dummy data for the data alignment.

I'm not sure why you want to remove it. it is an essential part.

ENHMETAFILE is nothing to do with DIB or BITMAT.
it must be handled differently.

After insert  GetEnhMetaFileBits API to window-pr/lib/windows/gdi/bitmat.rb
API.new('GetEnhMetaFileBits', 'LLP', 'L', 'gdi32')
Test with
File.open('aaa.wmf','wb') { |f|
f.write(Clipboard.data(Clipboard::ENHMETAFILE)) }

Here is a patch for ENHMETAFILE
