Dang, I've been bitten by the uncommon syntax of fish. You're right, I
needed to set it as an environmental variable:

> set -x EDITOR=/usr/local/bin/nvim
instead of 
> set EDITOR=/usr/local/bin/nvim

This works, though:
> EDITOR=/usr/local/bin/nvim darcs record

Sorry for the noise and thanks for the quick answer.
