Harry transfigured the inside of the troll. Maybe Quirrell only needed to enchant the outside?
Or that the enchantment is somewhat less fixed to the body of the troll?
Or Harry and Quirrel might be wrong about how their magic can touch? Harry never exactly knew the boundaries. He has only the sense of doom and the resonance from the Avadakedvra - Patronus interaction.
He touched it. In chapter 56 or 55, I forget which, Harry had to wear a glove to ride the room that Quirrell enchanted. In chapter 89, he picks up the troll by the ear.
I don't think that Harry actually knows for sure that he couldn't touch the broom.
Good point, I missed the picking the troll up by the ear entirely.
