[I've never done anything with view-read-only before...]
I set view-read-only to t, then played with a file under RCS.
When the files is checked in view-mode is turned on, when checking it
out it's turned off.

If the code in question is eliminated, view-mode stays turned on after
checking out.

There's some code in `after-find-file' (that gets called from
`revert-buffer') that looks like it does something very similar to the
code in question here, but `after-find-file' is called with `nomodes' t,
so that code does not trigger.
