I've since discovered that the version in testing: 3.1-20210910-1
does in fact read the editrc file.

According to the upstream changelog:

2021-05-22 Jess Thrysoee
   [...]
   * src/el.c: editrc not read on systems without issetugid
        Patch by Trevor Cordes

This version installs just fine on stable (Bullseye).

Hopes this helps someone with this problem.
