As a matter of fact, yes.  The 3.0.5 manual claims that the proper way to call
objc_edit() is as follows:

int objc_edit(tree,object,character,oldindex,kind,newindex);
OBJECT *tree;int object,character,oldindex,kind,*newindex;

This is in fact what GEM expects.  It is not, however, what the 3.0.5 library
expects.  The actual call format is:

int objc_edit(tree,object,character,index,kind,index);
OBJECT *tree;int object,character,*index,kind;

where index serves the function of both oldindex and newindex above.

By the way, what is the most recent version of MWC?  I've heard 3.0.9 and I'm
somewhat concerned that Mark Williams hasn't notified me.  To my knowledge I'm
registered (how might one check that?).
