    No, it is the text entry box in the file dialog that is read only,  
    i.e. when the dialog pops up to open an existing file, you can not  
    enter the file name in the text entry box, because that would make it  
    possible to enter a file name for a file that does not exist.  The  
    buffer has the correct read/write state.

That is to say, it does not function as a file name entry box.

Could we fix this by always specifying that new files are allowed,
even in Open File?
