I did it slightly differently and had no problems:
* File out Editor, TextEditor, file those into Squeak.
* Make a subclass of TextMorph called TextEditorMorph
* Give it the editorClass TextEditor, open it, edit it
At this point I had one blow-up resulting from missing 
NewParagraph>>replaceFrom:to:with:. I added it and everything seemed to 
work.

I then upped the ante a little and replaced TextMorph>>editorClass with 
TextEditor. And guess what, it seems to be working quite well, except 
from a few issues like:
* One cannot get rid of text selection by clicking inside the old 
selection. I'm presuming that this is done for mobile devices but we 
should have a preference for governing that.
* Programming short cuts do not work (browse senders, implementors etc). 
How are shortcuts expected to work here? Should these be in a subclass? 
(some advice would be welcome).

Other than that I haven't found any problems whatsoever yet.

We can work this out. In the worst case, initializer methods can carry 
code as well, along the lines of:

blankForm
   "Created using:
     (ByteArray streamContents:[:s|
         PNGReadWriter
             putForm: (Form extent: 100 at 100 depth: 32)
             onStream: s]) asString base64Encoded.
   "
   ^Form fromBinaryStream: (
'iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAGQAAABkCAYAAABw4pVUAAAAnklEQVR4XuXBMQEAAADCoPVP
bQsfIJ/P5/P5fD6fz+fz+Xw+n8/n8/l8Pp/P5/P5fD6fz+fz+Xw+n8/n8/l8Pp/P5/P5fD6f
z+fz+Xw+n8/n8/l8Pp/P5/P5fD6fz+fz+Xw+n8/n8/l8Pp/P5/P5fD6fz+fz+Xw+n8/n8/l8
Pp/P5/P5fD6fz+fz+Xw+n8/n8/l8Pp/P5/P5fD6fz3c1nKQAAZiW0oUAAAAASUVORK5CYII='
    ) base64Decoded asByteArray readStream.

If we stick this into a temporary class that gets deleted in a later 
update then the overhead is temporary.
