Hi again: I also noticed that you'll want to set the syntax for the Z39.50 to "MARC21". I like working with MARCXML, but MarcEdit apparently can't handle that option, at least as of MarcEdit 6.0.5532.39684 from 23/02/2015.
With that option, I'm now able to search Koha's Z39.50 server Zebra using MarcEdit, and update the records I find : ).
