... then going out of EditMode, accidentally deselecting all
objects, then going into EditMode again. After all that, 
I'm in EditMode with an active object and an empty 
object selection.

Anyway I coined a few days ago that this may be a spurious
feature of Blender. Perhaps it should refuse to go into 
EditMode when there's no selected object. All  depends on
the definition of the "active object". Is it the lastly 
selected object (so that there cannot be an active object
when there are no selected objects) or is it something
independent?
