Obvious question: is your VISUAL (and/or EDITOR) set? I'm on testing as well, and crontab -e creates new files just fine, as root and as ordinary user. FWIW, I've seen this happen a couple of times on slowaris, but I never bothered to investigate. Just touch /var/spool/cron/crontabs/<user>, and then crontab -e will work (or at least it does for me).
