I noticed the Manifest Editor's plugin (org.eclipse.pde.ui) does not have
a dependency on org.eclipe.platform.source. But if you run Eclipse
without the org.eclipse.platform.source plugin installed, the Manifest
editor can't read the Extenion point definitions (exsd) files from
directories in org.eclipse.platform.source.
Is this expected behavior and is org.eclipse.platform.source a indirect
pre-req, or is there a work around or another way the Manifest Editor can
work without this plugin installed?

It's actually the other way around.
Source and schema lookup by PDE are done via extension points.
PDE/Core declares an org.eclipse.pde.core.source extension point which
clients can extend to declare source lookup locations.
When PDE is looking for the schema for a particular extension point (e.g.
org.eclipse.ui.actionSets), we first look in the plugin that declares the
extension point (i.e. org.eclipse.ui). If it's not there, then we search
all registered source lookup locations (i.e. all the extensions to the
org.eclipse.pde.core extension point). Therefore, if
org.eclipse.platform.source is missing, then its source extension is
missing, and we won't be able to locate the schema for
org.eclipse.ui.actionSets.
