Thanks! I appreciate the quick patch submission.

After posting I realised it must be because sudoedit invokes the editor
with the user's usual environment, and forgets to impose the sudoers config
when copying the completed edit.

Now I need to be patient until a new sudo version is released, so that my
distros will pick up the change :)
