I tried it again, as you advised, and noticed that it actually was possible
to edit and quit. Mind you, backspace seemed non-functional, but I notice
a bug has recently been filed about that. IMO that is a release critical
bug, if you can find a fix quickly.
Sorry, I didn't know I was using the old config file. And I did read the
changelog, contrary what you said in your irate private message to me,
and it never said the conffile had been moved:
ae (962-20) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* fixed /bin/vi shell script to handle both quoted file names
* and the lack of any arguments using the ${1+"$@"}
* construct suggested by Richard Braakman: fixes 20415
* also fixed inverted logic in same shell script.

ae (962-19) frozen unstable; urgency=high
* rebuilt ae.rc to provide emacs keybindings
* provides full functionality on terminals without function keys.
* new keybindings remove the problem with ^O (file write)
* when used under Midnight Commander, which caused ae to abort.
