It isn't possible to have the MIDI input re-channelised just in EDIT mode -
that only happens with RECord active.
No real reason why the behaviour couldn't be changed though - it's just a
question of setting a flag at a different point in the code, possible
something for a user option.

When record *isn't* active, what P3 passes is controlled by the 'thru'
option on the 'MIDI Thru' menu you'll find on play mode page 5.
A thru setting of 'off' passes nothing, a setting of a MIDI channel number
will re-channelise incoming data to the specified channel, and a setting of
'any' will pass data on its original channel.
When you activate record mode, note data arriving on the record channel
(also set in the 'MIDI Thru' menu) is removed from the soft-thru stream, and
will only be re-sent if the record page 'mthru' option is on.
Notes being recorded are passed (with mthru active) on the channel assigned
to the track being recorded.
One last twist is that controller messages on the record channel will not
normally be rechannelised to the record track channel, unless the user conf
option 'Redir CC on REC ' is set on.

That just sounds like you have turned 'thru' on.
