Tricky, I am not sure you are right here.
cnt is used before assigning it to itself so a register should be generated for the variable. so enable should work and takes priority over load.
I know for sure such counters work with variables. Though I personally use variables very occasionally.
I think the problem may be in the last statement outside clk edge.

But the enable overrides load, because they are two separate ifs. So actually its a 3:1 priority mux with cnt+1, new_data or cnt.
So while I agree I was initially wrong, and it should work with the cnt variable, the fact it's two separate ifs and not an elsif will be the problem.
