Either ISPF should write the edit buffer directly to an internal reader allocated with the attributes of the file being edited, or the "temporary" data set should be allocated with those attributes and the restriction removed from TSO SUBMIT. "Long SYSIN" is another instance where IBM neglected to extend its implementation to all affected components.
