⎕ED returns a result only when all windows are closed when it is called from a defined function or operator. Called from the Session it opens the Edit windows and returns a null result immediately.

The two ⎕ED-behaviour paragraphs also carry the may-to-can/might wording from the variant-options PR (#887), so the shared region is identical on both branches and the two PRs do not conflict.
