Yeah, I'm not sure either. My guess is $EDITOR is mostly invoked to edit temporary files/buffers or files that already exist somewhere, but I have no data to back that up. I did just try running "nano -t" on its own to see what happens; if you enter some text and then try to quit, it complains that there's no file name and then, after a short delay, prompts you for one with the normal save dialog. It's not terrible, but the delay (to give you time to read the error message, I guess) is a little annoying. (For what it's worth: this can also apparently be accomplished by a nanorc setting ("set tempfile"), but presumably we wouldn't want to set this there).
