The switch to read/only by default was indeed done on purpose in Ubuntu
11.10 as we believe the default behaviour of the recovery mode should be
to not make anything worse, which is achieved by having / and any other
persistent filesystem read-only.
Friendly-recovery is designed to solely be started from the grub option,
starting it manually from an already booted system isn't a supported use
case.
In 12.04, the menu will be slightly updated to better reflect what's
available in read-only mode and what's available in read/write mode,
automatically switching to read/write when the user first selects one of
these options.
** Changed in: friendly-recovery (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix
