<prompt> would be handy.  Meanwhile, you might try something like:

$ cat mutt-subject-edit
#!/bin/sh
printf "New subject: " >/dev/tty
read subj </dev/tty
cat <<X
set editor="perl -pi -e 's/^Subject: .*/Subject: $subj/;' %s"
X

:source "mutt-subject-edit |"
[tag some messages]
<tag-prefix><edit-message>

Untested.
