If I set:
VISUAL="emacs -nw"
then sensible-editor complains:
/usr/bin/sensible-editor: 20: emacs -nw: not found
but if I set:
EDITOR="emacs -nw"
instead, then sensible-editor is fine.

I think the correct behaviour should be to allow "emacs -nw", as in
the EDITOR version.  This behaviour can be replicated by removing the
quote marks around "$VISUAL" on line 36 of /usr/bin/sensible-editor

Best wishes,
