I ran into the same problem and avoided it as shown in the following
excerpt:

  (set-visited-file-name (concat (buffer-file-name) "."
				 (cond
				  ((null grind-DOC-macro-package) "t")
				  (t (symbol-name grind-DOC-macro-package)))))
  ;;following line added to avoid read-only buffer problems
  (setq buffer-read-only nil)
  (delete-other-windows)
