Comment:
A readonly field really shouldn't have a hidden field. If it did, it
wouldn't be a readonly field, because it would be possible for end users
to create a POST request that would modify the value.
As for any other problems -- you haven't provided enough detail for anyone
else to reproduce the problem you've described. I set up a custom
ModelAdmin for User with username as a readonly field, and didn't see any
behavior that surprised me.
If you think there is a validation problem here, feel free to reopen --
but with enough detail that would allow someone else to replicate the
problem you are seeing.
