I don't think I like this patch: you are promoting what are and ought to
be very low-level internal sanity checks into user-facing errors (which
among other things will require translation effort for the messages).
I note that you didn't bother even to adjust the adjacent comments
saying this should never happen.

What I want to know is what code path led to these and why the read-only
ereport did not occur at a far higher level.  If we have gaps in the RO
checking we should be fixing them somewhere else, not band-aiding here.
