They were introduced by this patch from somebody I've never heard of
before:

commit a8f8c39013d510311c8bdcab9a943e23526372ae
Author:     Stefan Monnier <monnier@iro.umontreal.ca>
AuthorDate: Mon Apr 11 19:01:31 2005 +0000

-    (define-key map "\C-m"     'wdired-newline)
-    (define-key map "\C-j"     'wdired-newline)
-    (define-key map "\C-o"     'wdired-newline)
+    (define-key map "\C-m"     'ignore)
+    (define-key map "\C-j"     'ignore)
+    (define-key map "\C-o"     'ignore)
...
-(defun wdired-newline ()
-  "Do nothing."
-  (interactive))

But I think `undefined' is more correct here, so I've now changed it.

Me neither.
