The text editor should do *something* useful in this case.  If the file
is simply open in an editor window, nothing says the text editor can't
make sure it has the whole thing in memory (or cached to local disk) and
release any open file descriptors on the device.  Saving the file back
to the original media of course then is impossible, but that's no big
surprise; in many cases, the file won't be modified anyway, and if it
is, the user can either reinsert the media or just save the file
elsewhere.
