Thanks Grigori.

It seems an unusual way to do it (certainly different to my Ubuntu and CentOS
systems) but if it solves my problem I'm happy with it.

However, this leaves a problem in that visudo must therefore be buggy in Maemo
as it leaves a sudoers file that is effectively invalid. It needs to either
create/edit files in /etc/sudoers.d or just print a message telling the user
how it's been replaced and then exit.
