I think this is a great idea and has always baffled me that you can't.
I'm also a little confused by James comment. Maintaining an edit
history of edit summaries seems overkill. As I understand it edit
summaries are for aiding other editors.
If we are worried about losing important information, maybe only the
original editor and trusted editors with certain privileges should be
able to edit them.

I can see it being useful in two circumstances:
1) As part of the oversight right, in order to edit an edit summary

hiding the entire revision
2) A right of a user to edit their own edit summaries, if the edit summary
is blank
Since it's possible and at least some people are interested in it, I don't
see the downside of making it available in MediaWiki even if most
Wikimedia
projects might not use it.
That sounds more like a good argument for making it an extension, rather
than a core feature.
