Wouldn't it depend on how this gets implemented?

Maybe least negative impact approach (suggested already): If the "large
command that was edited" is put in the command history before the \e,
then both are available and there is no big change from "expected
behaviour".

i.e. one up arrow get the previous \e, and a second up arrow would bring
up the command that was worked upon.
