I got the two answers below:

My question was not specific enough.  I wanted to any attribute, not
exactly the "edited" attribute.  Ricardo's theory is not correct, all
attributes will be written back, overwriting changes in X-VM-v5-Data.
If I understand the source correctly, it happens in
vm-edit-message-end, which calles vm-stuff-virtual-attributes, which
calles vm-stuff-attributes, which overwrites X-VM-v5-Data.

Same question again: Should there be a way to change attributes
inside VM?  Or am I the only one with such exotic tastes :-).
