I'm OK with the idea of the .lfm being updated if I do something to the
form. But the current situation- and I think this is comparatively
recent- is that the .lfm is updated even if it's not explicitly open.
To update a .lfm the IDE must have an open form, because that's what
TWriter requires.
Maybe you mean an open form was saved, even though you have not
modified it?

Got that, checking carefully using Lazarus 1.0. What's happening is that
if multiple copies or representations of a file are open, the r/o state
doesn't necessarily propagate. As a particular example, if you clone a
r/o file to a new window that doesn't inherit the r/o state (at least
until the IDE is restarted).
So if you tell the IDE to open a form as text (.lfm) and mark that r/o,
close the graphical representation and update the .pas then the .lfm
doesn't get LCLVersion stuffed into it. But if you close the IDE and
then restart it, you've got the form both as a text and a graphic
representation: under this condition if you update the .pas the .lfm is
also updated, even though in its text representation it's still marked r/o.
