How is that correct? file-posix.c calls:
ret = qemu_lock_fd_test(s->lock_fd, off, 1, true);
where exclusive being true in turn sets:
.l_type = exclusive ? F_WRLCK : F_RDLCK,
and F_WRLCK requests fail on a RO fd with EBADF.

What exactly breaks? Any specific error message, or a backtrace, or
something with more details?

I just argued that we DO try to set write locks in file-posix, and
therefore, we need more details of what the real problem is, because
this does not feel like the right fix.
