I would argue that implementation does not adhere to the published
API...

I don't know, the Java guys are pretty good about making sure their
API works consistently across all platforms, or at least documenting
the cases where it wouldn't.
One way to consistency is a lowest-common-denominator approach.
Here is harmony's implementation:
+ public void sync() throws SyncFailedException {
+ // if the descriptor is a read-only one, do nothing
+ if (!readOnly) {
+ syncImpl();
+ }
+ }

I would start with a read only descriptor and get it into the field.
Given that there are a large number of platforms where it could be
expected to either fail or succeed and do nothing, it doesn't seem
like the right approach.
