I apologize for the delay in my response.  


I had encountered the same issue and thought the fix had already been 

moved to trunk.  Digging in tonite, it doesn't appear it made it; so I'll get 

it installed this week.  I had a similar problem with using inhibit-read-only, 

but found that controlling buffer-read-only was actually a more accurate 

way of managing the buffer's read-only state and the buffer's contents.

Thanks for the bug report and sorry for my delay
