Ah, I understand - I was trying to do it all by setting bbdb/mail-auto-create-p in just the same way, but by failing to override bbdb-always-add-addresses was falling foul of the prompts to update existing records, hence my confusion leading to my doomed attempts to toggle bbdb-readonly-p. With that small change it all works just as I wanted.
