I'd recommend binding inhibit-read-only instead.

Doesn't it make more sense to keep this ispell support in po-mode.el ?
Perhaps ispell.el should provide something like an `ispell-function'
(an easy way for a major mode to replace the "normal" ispell by his own
variant such as the one above that temporarily makes the buffer writable) ?
This way po-mode.el could set ispell-function and all the ispell stuff
would just work.
