Aren't most of them use a temporary file? I spent some time ago documenting it in http://wiki.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=texteditorpitfall after it came up on the linux-ntfs-dev mailing list (long ago). Am I wrong? I remember Rich writing about some command of vim to disable the temporary file feature, but you haven't mentioned that one, so I assume it works for you "out-of-the-box".
