Well it's not so strange when you consider the situation after rm: You write to the ram-backed 'fstab'. Read the readmes and look for -DNFS_SECURITY_HOLE. I think that's it. (Details: It is about the NFS server returning -EACCES rather than -EROFS for readonly mounts, so it is hard to distinguish between 1. Permission Denied 2. Filesystem is really readonly.)
