Assuming the nodereference filter can receive the nid of the node being
edited as an argument (that's the part I'm unclear on, but you can't do
this if you can't somehow get the node) then you need some PHP argument
code that attempts to load the node. If lot loads, return $node->uid; if
not, return $GLOBALS['user']->uid.
