This is not a bug, it is a useful feature.
1: Just returning an empty string means that things will look different when
reading a page and in edit preview, which will be confusing and means we can't
test our page code in edit preview but have to save to see the result.
2: Returning the last editor of the page would be "correct".
But the current behaviour of returning the current username when a user is edit
previewing a page is useful. We already use it in the editnotice system on the
English Wikipedia to detect when a user is editing his own user and user talk
page. Then we display the link to edit the user's user-space editnotice to the
user himself (and to admins). Other users don't see that link.
And we are now going to use it in the "test-template" on the English Wikipedia.
That is a template that will supply functionality that solves bug 22135. The
curios can read more about that at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Davidgothberg#Proposed_enhancement_for_testing_templates
.
So please don't "fix" this, it isn't broken.
