Actually there are circumstances when admins can and should edit fully protected articles per: WP:FULL.< http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:FULL%3E
Does anyone really object to the idea of admins responding to a request for admin help by editing a fully protected page in accordance with talkpage consensus?

If there is talk page consensus, does the page really still need to be fully protected?
There may be consensus on one issue but disagreement over another. Say the subject of a protected article dies. Obviously there will be consensus that the article needs to reflect this (not that it's sensible to take the time to see whether there's consensus there or not) but the dispute that lead to protection may still be ongoing. Extreme example I know, but this *kind* of thing happens. It's why we have {{editprotected}}.
