There's nothing "wrong" with this, it's perfectly legitimate just as it's perfectly legitimate to make a link to a page that doesn't exist or to edit as a user who hasn't created a user page.
It's not "wrong". I think it fits some projects (decentralized ones) better than other ones (centralized), that's all; I certainly can understand why it is so. I just think it would be cool if it were customizable.
"Patches welcome" is a fair answer here, too.
I'm not sure I understand what it could do differently from what it does now. Refuse to save the edit? Silently hide the link? Put a giant message that says "Create this page you fool!"? :)
