Message:
$EDITOR is supposed to be the name of a program, not an arbitrary piece of
command line.  The latter would be unwise for safety reasons.

Nor is it really necessary to do this, so this is no bug.  You can just as
well put a little shell script onto your path and point $EDITOR to that,
instead.
