The Emacs server (see the emacsclient program) uses C-x #, and since
we can probably assume that the server-edit binding is not needed in
buffers created by M-m p...

A way to override the binding would the as follows: In M-m p, you ask
for a major mode to use.  You then execute the major mode function.
After that, you make a copy of the current local keymap and tell the
current buffer to use that copy as the local keymap.  Since this is a
unique Lisp object, you can redefine the C-c C-c binding without
clobbering the normal c-mode-map (say).
