Thanks for the patch. I agree that there needs to be a way to abandon a record edit in that modal without having to close the entire modal.
I do have two suggestions:
[1] With your patch, if you close the inline editor, any edits you make are still visible if you edit the record again, which could be confusing to users. I suggest making the act of closing the inline editor also undo any unsaved changes to the record.
[2] In parallel with the above suggestion, I suggest changing the label of the new button to "Cancel Edit" or the like.
