I've tried it and not seen any big issues as long as you use an editor that breaks hard links, but if you spot wierdness related to that let me know.
I'm surprised to hear there are any UNIX or Linux editors that break hard links (which I take to mean that an edit should sever the link so that the other location keeps the old copy).
There are many situations in which I rely on the fact that vi and vim do not break hard links.
there was a discussion on this topic quite recently in the vimdev mailing list
