I'm kinda shocked nobody's noticed this before. Maybe I'm missing
something obvious - or maybe everybody just uses the live cd for this
stuff normally.

I just loaded up "rescue a broken system" and see what you mean. FYI:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nano/+bug/154396
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rescue/+bug/35400
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rescue/+bug/228249

If you have a working network connection on the machine:

# apt-get install bogl-bterm

That installs bterm and thereafter you will be able to use vi or nano in
"rescue a broken system". This is a pretty serious bug IMO as you
shouldn't have to have a network connection the "rescue a broken system".
