Or, consider that the file content is not changed, but the timestamp is (I would expect that this wouldn't happen, but it is possible to publish that type of package version). Again, the file is not overwritten, the mode is already set to read-only, but the timestamp needs to change.
So even if the timestamp is set before the mode, we still have the case where the file needs to be made writable for the change and then changed back.
