I haven't tried this yet, but I think it turns out to be embarassingly
simple -- just redefine $PageEditFmt so that the

   <input type='hidden' name='pagename' value='$PageName' />

tag is changed to

   <input type='text' name='pagename' value='$PageName' />

See below for an example.

Of course, this requires that the person enter the page's name as 
'Group.PageName' (and not just 'PageName'), so perhaps there's a 
user-interface improvement that ought to be made there.  Let me know 
if you want that.  But this gets the basic functionality across.

This should probably be written up as a Cookbook module.

$PageEditFmt=array("
  <div id='wikiedit'>
  <a id='top' name='top'></a><h1 class='wikiaction'>$[Editing \$PageName]</h1>
  <form action='\$PageUrl' method='post'>
  \$EditMessageFmt
  <input type='hidden' name='action' value='edit' />
  <input type='text' name='pagename' value='\$PageName' /><br />
