Another great writeup, will reply when I get the chance (Mondays and Tuesdays are the busiest at work), just want you to know your hard work is seen and appreciated!
As for the identity of the editor, it was unknown to Richard Leineweber, a doctoral student who evidently (afaict? I didn't have time to puzzle out much German) wrote his dissertation on Morgenstern's FW bio in 1899. See the footnotes on page 29 of the volume I just uploaded. It's about 50 pages, so you can skim and see if it has anything of interest.
