I think Tsuucat’s patch makes that comment obsolete. It inserts the
working text into the buffer at point, which I assumed was impossible
since it’s read‐only, and then deletes it once it’s completed and
dired picks up the correct character and does the right thing.

It maybe looks a little odd with the working text appearing in the
dired buffer, but I don’t think it’s a problem.

Thanks to everyone who’s helped resolved this bug!
