I found my problem. The code in "muck with the buffer" included a line
of the form:

(switch-to-buffer-other-window folder)

Switching buffers apparently prevents "buffer-read-only" from
reverting back to its original value upon exiting the "let". Moving
the line outside of the let fixed my problem.
