Good point. Short answer: it was directly recommended in a another emacs
bug report thread that I do so.
Longer answer: I wasn't given instructions in that other thread about
'preparing a buffer', only that the command was an alternative to 'C-x 4
a' when operating on version-controlled file and there was no need or
desire for a Changelog file. That's also how I interpreted an excerpt
from the emacs NEWS file posted there. As I had the file under git,
using magit, and 'C-x 4 a' (from add-log.el) is known to work without
any 'buffer preparation', why shouldn't commands from log-edit.el?

I'm not so sure, but as I've yet to read up on how to 'prepare a buffer'
and get the command working, I'm not yet in position to take a step back
and assess whether what happened in my case is reasonable to happen to
others.
