Yes, normally metaedit is intended to edit the existing commit message. 
Hence it's natural to open an editor. What's the problem with that? What 
different behavior would you prefer?

Note that metaedit does have the -m (message) option, which would 
presumably replace the existing commit message, though I have not tested 
that. But that's generally not what you want to do.
