I can't replicate that on GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-pc-solaris2.7, X toolkit).
I started emacs with the -q --no-site-file switches and evaluated this
in the *scratch* buffer:
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook
(lambda () (message "buffer-read-only is %s" buffer-read-only)))
Then I invoked text mode several different ways (via M-x, via
default-major-mode, and via auto-mode-alist on both new and existing
files), and each time the echo area said "buffer-read-only is nil".

Your code above ought to work, except that you depend on the result of
turn-on-auto-fill, whose return value is not documented. Use progn
instead of `and'.

But you figured it out easily enough, no?

Why? auto-fill is only invoked if they make a change (insert a space
at the end of a line), and if that's what the user wants it should
work if they M-x toggle-read-only.

Bad idea.
