I've tested this on both my laptop (OS X) and my desktop (Ubuntu) but not a Windows box. As @til_b says, the problem seems to be that the .dbf has a different name to the .shp and .shx files. 

After renaming the file behaved much better. 

I also suggest you dissolve the layer using Vector > Geoprocessing Tools > Dissolve toolset. 

After dissolving I was able to add, delete and edit features. Hope this helps.
