I think that a simple statement mentioning the issue in the documentation of
fix() would be helpful.

My concern here is that users can be confused from the fact that if one has
a single time series fix() uses the default method of edit() and does not
change
its class

[1] "ts"
whereas for mts objects edit.data.frame is used so that in my opinion it
might be wort

Why did you expect otherwise?: fix() is treating it as matrix and
?edit.matrix says that it only works on 'simple data frames' (and converts
matrices to such).
Editing R objects can easily change aspects of them, as dput() is not
faithful, environments can get lost and so on.
