Missing edit link?

I was trying to edit a post on SO, which was very badly formatted. After I submitted the edit, I was redirected to the 404 page. Thinking that the owner must have removed the post while I was editing, I checked in the new queue and still was able to see the post.

The edit link was missing.

Is this because there were close votes or flags on the question?
