Well, it looks like a misfeature.
Without going into mc/mcedit internal details,
Ctrl+<singlequote> produces the same action
as Ctrl+g, which means "Cancel".

Workaround can be more complicated, because
there should be a way to determine such
key-code conflicts (internally).

Anyway, mcedit should catch the Ctrl+g key
and ask for confirmation.
